Question

Adriana and Belen are partners who share income in the ratio of 3:2 and have capital balances of $50,000 and $90,000 at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $90,000. How much cash should be distributed to Adriana

Answer 1

Answer:

$54,000

Explanation:

First, we add the ratios together to determine the total parts:

3+2= 5

Next, we divide the cash balance of $90,000 by the total parts:

$90,000/5 = $18,000

To find the amount of cash distributed to Adriana we multiply by her ratio:

5*18,000 = $54,000.
