Question

EE 12-5 p 603 PE 12-5B Liquidating partnerships Show Me How OBJ.4 Prior to liquidating their partnership, Manning and Adamo had capital accounts of $240,000 and $150,000 respectively. Prior to liquidation, the partnership had no cash assets other than what was realized from the sale of assets. These partnership assets were sold for $-410,000. The partnership had $80,000 of liabilities. Manning and Adamo share income and losses equally. Determine the amount received by Manning as a final distribution from liquidation of the partnership.

Explanation / Answer

Capital balance (240,000+150,000):    $ 390,000

Add: Liabilities:                                      $80,000

Total assets:                                          $470,000

Less: Sale value of assets:                   $410,000

Loss on sale of assets:                          -$60,000

Share of Manning in loss (-$60,000 /2) = -$30,000

Manning capital before liquidation:     $240,000

Less: Loss on realisation adjusted:     -$30,000

Final amount to be paid to Manning:   $210,000

The amount received by Manning as a final distribution on liquidation: $210,000
