Proposed Schedule of Liquidation:
Total Cash Realized = $772,000
Accounts payable (210,000)
Available cash = $562,000
Ferris, loan 40,000
Hardwick, loan 30,000 (70,000)
After loans $492,000
Repayment of capital:
Hardwick, capital = $220,800
Saunders, capital = $140,600
Ferris, capital = $130,600
Explanation:
Profits and losses sharing ratios:
Hardwick = 4
Saunders = 3
Ferris = 3
Condensed Balance Sheet:
Cash $90,000 Accounts payable $210,000
Other assets 820,000 Ferris, loan 40,000
Hardwick, loan 30,000
Hardwick, capital 300,000
Saunders, capital 200,000
Ferris, capital 190,000
Total assets $940,000 Total liabilities and capital $940,000
Realization of Assets:
Cash $90,000
Other assets 482,000 (60% of $820,000)
Other assets 200,000 (40% of $820,000)
Total cash realized = $772,000
Total capital = $690,000
Total cash available to settle capital = $492,000
Shortfall in capital = $198,000
This is shared according to their loss sharing ratio:
Hardwick = $198,000 * 40% = $79,200
Saunders = $198,000 * 30% = $59,400
Ferris = $198,000 * 30% = $59,400
The shortfall is deducted from their capital accounts:
Hardwick, capital $220,800 (300,000 - 79,200)
Saunders, capital $140,600 (200,000 - 59,400)
Ferris, capital $130,600 (190,000 - 59,400)
Balance shared = $492,000
