Turner, Roth, and Lowe are partners who share income and loss in a 1:4:5 ratio (in percentages: Turner, 10%; Roth, 40%; and Lowe, 50%). The partners decide to liquidate the partnership. Immediately before liquidation, the partnership balance sheet shows total assets, $126,000; total liabilities, $78,000; Turner, Capital, $2,500; Roth, Capital, $14,000; and Lowe, Capital, $31,500. Cash received from selling the assets was sufficient to repay all but $28,000 to the creditors.

Required: a. Calculate the loss from selling the assets. b. Allocate the loss from part a to the partners. c. Determine how much, if any, each partner should contribute to the partnership to cover any remaining capital deficiency.

    a) loss from selling the assets = Total liabilities - amount not sufficient to pay for creditors = 78000 - 28000 = 50000

    Loss = Assets - loss from selling the assets = 126000 - 50000 = 76000

    B) allocation of loss

    Turner = 76000 * 10% = 7600

    Roth = 76000 * 40 % = 30400

    Lowe = 76000 * 50 = 38000

    C) partners capital after allocating above loss

    Turner capital = 2500 - 7600 = - 5100

    Roth = 14000 - 30400 = - 16400

    Lowe = 31500 - 38000 = - 6500

    Contribution from partners required to pay 28000 debt:

    Turner = 28000 * 10% = 2800

    Roth =. 28000 * 40% = 11200

    Lowe = 28000 * 50% = 14000
