Respuesta :

Answer:

Option "c".

Explanation:

Option "c" is the correct answer.

Given the creditor's claim = $40000

Partnership interest of Maris = 75%

Partnership interest of Crane = 25%

The entire amount can be collected from the Crane because in the partnership there is not a limited liability to pay the debt. Therefore, the creditor can claim the entire amount from the Crane.
