Which of the following statements is true concerning the distribution of safe payments? The distribution of safe payments assumes that any capital deficit balances will prove to be a total loss to the partnership. Safe payments are equal to the recorded capital balances of partners with positive capital balances. The distribution of safe payments may only be made after all liabilities have been paid. In computing safe payments, partners with positive capital balances are assumed to absorb an equal share of any deficit balance(s). There are no safe payments until the liquidation is complete.

Hence, The distribution of safe payments assumes that any capital deficit balances will prove to be a total loss to the partnership is true concerning the distribution of safe payment.
