b. Loss allocation to the partners:

                                                            Turner      Roth      Lowe

Loss sharing ($78,800)                      $7,880    $31,520   $39,400

c. Capital contribution to cover deficiency:

                                                            Turner      Roth      Lowe

Contribution to cover deficiency     $3,000    $12,000    $15,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                            Turner      Roth      Lowe

Income and loss sharing ratio:               1                4             5

Assets before liquidation = $130,800

Liabilities = $82,000  

Capital balances                                 $2,900   $14,200   $31,700

Cash received from sale of assets = $52,000 ($82,000 - $30,000)

Loss from sale of assets = $78,800 ($130,800 - $52,000)

Loss sharing ($78,800)                      $7,880    $31,520   $39,400

Contribution to cover deficiency       $3,000      $12,000   $15,000
