The partnership had $10,000 of liabilities. Joyce and Xi share income and losses equally.

Answer 1

Answer:

Joyce cash distribution   = $262500

Explanation:

given data

Joyce capital = $50,000

Xi capital = $105,000

liabilities = $10,000

assets sold = $190,000

to find out

we consider Determine the amount received by Joyce as a final distribution from liquidation of the partnership

solution

we carrying value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation is

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation = $50,0000 + $105,000 + $10,000

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation =  $615000

so Profit on Liquidation  is = value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation - Sale of Asset

Profit on Liquidation  is = $615000 - $190,000

Profit on Liquidation  is = $ 425000

and here since

Joyce and Xi share income and losses equally

so Joyce share of profit will be

Joyce share of profit  = 50% × $ 425000

Joyce share of profit  = $212500

and

so Joyce cash distribution  will be

Joyce cash distribution  = Joyce share of profit + Joyce capital

Joyce cash distribution   = $212500 + $50,000

Joyce cash distribution   = $262500
