been providing the on-site estimates for the pools, while your partners do most of the onsite
construction. While visiting one of the sites, you hear a conversation between one of your partners
and a customer. Your partner is explaining that the cost will increase by $10,000 because of
unexpected rock removal. You are a bit surprised by this, since you had tested the area for rocks.
Later, back at the office, you review the core-sample results done on that job, which did not reveal
any rock. You decide to talk to the partner when he returns to the office. When the partner returns
to the office, he is arguing with someone from a local bank concerning an outstanding personal
loan.
1.What do you see as your duty with respect to the partnership?
2.What should you do? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer
1. The first step in the liquidation process is to compute any net income/loss up to the date of dissolution.
Any net income/loss is allocated to the partners according to their profit and loss agreement. In the
next step, the assets that are not acceptable for distribution in their present form are converted into
cash, and any gains/losses realized are allocated according to the profit and loss ratio. The last step is
to distribute the available cash to creditors and partners.
2. Steps in the preparation of an advance cash distribution plan include:

a. Determine the net capital interest of each partner by combining partners capital accounts with any
loans to or receivables from the partners.
b. Determine the order in which the partners are to participate in cash distributions.
c. Compute the amount of cash each partner is to receive as it becomes available for distribution.
d. Prepare the cash distribution plan.
Short Answer Questions from the Textbook Solutions
1. Realization gains or losses are allocated to partners in their profit and loss ratio because the changes in
asset values are the result of risk assumed by the partnership. Also, because it may be difficult to
separate gains and losses that result from liquidation from the under- or over-statement in book values
that result from accounting policies followed in prior years.
2. The final cash distribution is based on capital balances, not on profit and loss ratios, since the capital
balance represents the partners' "residual claims" to the assets remaining after settlement of partnership
obligations.
3. Because the UPA order of payment ranks partnership obligations to a partner ahead of asset
distributions to a partner for capital investments, a debit balance in a partner's capital account will create
problems when that partner has an outstanding loan balance. Other partners will have a claim against
this partner for the amount of his/her debit balance which is considered to be an asset of the partnership
by the UPA. If the partner with a debit balance settles his/her obligation with the partnership, there is no
problem. However, if he/she can't settle, the other partners must absorb the deficit as a loss, even though
the partner with the debit balance had received cash for his/her outstanding loan balance. To avoid this
inequity, the courts have recognized the right of the partnership to offset the loan balance against the
debit capital balance.
4. Maintaining separate accounts for outstanding loan and capital accounts recognizes the legal distinction
between the two. This would be important if the liquidation is carried on over an extended period, since
the UPA provides that a partner is entitled to accrued interest on the loan balance.
5. When the equity interest of one partner is inadequate to absorb realization losses several alternative
outcomes are possible. If the partner is personally solvent, he may pay the partnership for the amount he

is liable. If he/she is personally insolvent then the other partners must absorb his/her debit balance in
their respective profit and loss ratio. If the other partners are unsure of what the partner with the debit
balance will do, but still wish to distribute cash, they can assume the worst (absorbing their share of the
debit balance) to determine what amount of cash can be safely distributed.
6. Cash should not be distributed to any partner until all liquidation losses are recognized in the accounts
or are provided for in determining a safe cash payment.
7. The classification of assets into personal and partnership categories in recognition of the rights of both
partnership creditors and creditors of the individual partners is referred to as "marshalling of assets."
8. To the extent that personal creditors do not recover from personal assets they can seek recovery from
those partnerships assets still available after partnership obligations have been met. This recovery,
however, is limited to the extent that the partner involved has a credit interest in partnership assets.
9. Because in an installment liquidation the amount of cash to be received from the unsold assets
and the resulting gain or loss is unknown, the partners should view each cash distribution as if it
were the final distribution.
10. The three assumptions upon which a safe cash distribution is determined are (1) any loan balances to
partners are offset against their capital accounts, (2) the remaining noncash assets will not generate any
more cash, and (3) any partner with a deficit capital balance will not settle his/her obligation to the
partnership. In other words, assume the worst.
The safe cash balance is computed as the difference between the current capital balances and the balance
required to maintain the above assumptions.
11. Unexpected costs are added to the book value of noncash assets. When the potential loss on the noncash
assets is allocated in the determination of a safe payment, these costs are also included.
12. The objective of the procedure is to bring the balance of the partners' capital accounts into the agreed
profit and loss ratio as soon as possible so that no one partner is placed in a better position than any
other partner.
13. The "loss absorption potential" is determined by dividing the partners' net capital balances by their
respective profit ratio. This determines the maximum amount of loss each partner can absorb.
14. The Uniform Partnership Act provides that the liabilities of the partnership shall rank in order of
payment as follows:
(1) Those owing to creditors other than partners,

(2) Those owing to partners other than for capital and profits,
(3) Those owing to partners in respect of capital,
(4) Those owing to partners in respect of profits.
Business Ethics from the Textbook Solution

Business ethics solutions are merely suggestions of points to address. The objective is to raise the students'
awareness of the topics, and to invite discussion. In most cases, there is clear room for disagreement or
conflicting viewpoints.

1) Partnership laws grant each partner the right to information about the firms business. This allows
each partner to monitor the firms activities. Given the circumstances of the case, it would be your
duty to inspect any questionable transaction. Furthermore, you should ask the partner to explain the
reason for increasing the cost by $10,000. This would give you the opportunity to raise the concern
regarding the presence of the previously undetected rock. If the additional charge is not based on
fact, the cost should be removed.
2) In the present scenario, it appears that the partner might be experiencing personal financial
pressures. However, the firms reputation and future implications of the action must be considered
for the benefit of the partnership. Your loyalty to your partner does not alter these responsibilities.
You may wish to find other, more constructive ways to offer assistance to your partner in meeting
his personal obligations, and surviving what may be a difficult time in his life. However, ignoring
the situation is dishonest to the client and is likely to result in more serious long-term consequences.
