Estimated expenses of liquidation were $10,000. Henry, Isaac, and Jacobs shared profits and losses in a ratio of 2:4:4. Before liquidating any assets, the partners determined the amount of safe cash and distributed it. The noncash assets were then sold for $120,000, and the liquidation expenses of $10,000 were paid. How much of the $120,000 would be distributed to Henry?

Solution and Explanation:

The total amount of cash available for safe payments would be $25,000 (90,000 - 60,000 - 5,000). This amount will be distributed between Henry and Jacobs in the ratio of 6:4 meaning that $15,000 (25,000*60%) will be given to Henry and $10,000 (25,000*40%) will be given to Jacobs.

The value of $120,000 will be distributed to the partners as follows:

                                  Henry                Issac             Jacobs

Equity                           80,000                 110,000           140,000

Less Loss on Assets  36,000                  72,000              72,000

Liquidation Expenses  1,000                      2,000          2,000

Balances                   43,000                   36,000          66,000

Less Distribution

of Safe Payments to Partners 15,000                  0             10,000

Net Balances                    $28,000  $36,000  $56,000
