Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
The amount of a gain or loss on realization is the difference between the sum of capital balances of partners and cash balance after settling all liabilities.
Total capital balances = $30,000 + $20,000 = $50,000
Total loss = Cash balance - Total capital balances = $38,000 - $50,000 = $12,000 loss.
Therefore, the amount of loss on realization is $12,000.

Alternatives for a person if he do not attend his neighbor's barbecue:
(1) Watch television with some friends = he value this at $17
(2) Read a good novel = he value this at $14
(3) Go in to work = he could earn $16 during the barbecue
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of going to his neighbor's barbecue is the enjoyment he get from watching television with some friends because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.
