    A. ($15000) Loss

    B. Hewitt = $7500, Patel = $7500

    C. Hewitt = $28500, Patel = $16500

    Explanation:

    Workings:

    A. Gain/loss = Cash balance - (Hewitt Capital + Patel Capital)

    Gain/loss = $45000 - ($36000+$24000)

    Loss = ($15000)

    B.

    Hewitt = ($15000*50%) = $7500

    Patel = ($15000*50%) = $7500

    C. Hewitt Patel

    Remaining cash $36000-$7500 $24000-$7500

    $28500 $16500
