Data and Calculations:

Allen, Bevell, and Carter Partnership Balance Sheet

Cash                   $ 25,000          Liabilities                  $ 175,000

Noncash assets 500,000          Allen, capital                 90,000

                                                    Bevell, capital             100,000

                                                    Carter, capital             160,000

Total               $ 525,000            Total                       $ 525,000

Profit and Loss sharing ratio = 3:2:5

Proceeds from sale of assets = $275,000

Loss from sale of non-cash assets = $225,000 ($500,000 - $275,000)

Thus, the amount of the loss from the sale of non-cash assets that would have been allocated to Bevell is $45,000 ($225,000 x 2/10).
