Answer and Explanation:

The contribution of assets to the partnership to cover a deficit is presented below:

Particulars Abram Bartle Creighton

Capital Balance $80,000 $90,000 $130,000

Less:

Allocation of non cash assets sold ($434,000 - $134,000) = $300,000 in 3 : 2 : 5 ratio

-$90,000 - $60,000 - $150,000

Liquidation expense - $3,600 - $2,400 - $6,000

Liabilities ($150,000 - $16,000) = $134,000 in 3 : 2 : 5 ratio

-$40,200 -.$26,800 - $67,000

Adjusted capital balance - $53,800 $800 - $93,000

So based on the above calculation the Abram and Creighton have to contribute the assets
