Answer:

an increase in the price of soccer balls.

Explanation:

Soccer balls are made of polyethylene and other petroleum oil derivates. An increase in the price of oil will lead to increased price of soccer balls, because the raw material price has gone up.

Kayaks also have raw materials derived from oil that is why they are experiencing a rise in price.

Kayaks and soccer balls will have a directly proportional relationship due to their common raw material source- oil.

Capital contribution$0 $0 $0 $20,000

Adjusted balances

$70,000 $30,000 $(42,000) $(38,000)

Adjusted balances

$24,286 $(4,285) $0 $0

Potential lossfrom Kaporale ($4,285)

(4,285) 4,285 $0 $0

Cash distribution $20,000 $0 $0 $0

Calculation for the potential loss

Potential loss from Dennsmore and Rasputin(42,000+38,000=80,000) split on a 4:3 basis

Dennsmore(4/7×80,000)= 45,714

Rasputin (3/7×80,000)=34,285

Therefore what should happen if Rasputin contributes additional cash of $20,000 to the partnership is that Atkinson will have cash of $20,000, Kaporale $0 , Dennsmore $0 and Rasputin will have cash of $0
