The remaining partners have requested an immediate distribution of $20,000 in cash that is available. How should this cash be distributed?

Respuesta :

Answer: Cash to be distributed to  Harding = $ 17000,  Jones = $ 3000

Explanation:

It has been indicated that the ($9,000) deficit will be covered with a forthcoming contribution

∴ The Remaining Capital Balance is = (24000 + 24000) = $48000

∵Total cash Available = $20000

Loss = 48000 - 20000 =  $ 28000

Loss will be shared between Harding & Jones in ratio = 16:48

∴  Harding Capital balance = [tex]\frac{(24000 - 28000)\times16}{16+48}[/tex] = $ 17000

Jones Capital balance =  [tex]\frac{(24000 - 28000)\times48}{16+48}[/tex] = $ 3000

Cash will be Distributed in their capital balance ratio

Therefore,

Cash to be distributed to  Harding = $ 17000,  Jones = $ 3000

Answer: Cash to be distributed to Harding = $17,000, Jones = $3,000

Explanation:

24,000+24,000+20,000=68,000

16%/(16%+48%)=25%

48%/(16%+48%)=75%

68,000*25%=17,000

68,000*75%=51,000

24,000+24,000=48,000

51,000-48,000=3,000
