Question

The partners share profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2, respectively. The partners agreed to dissolve the partnership after selling the other assets for $50,000. On dissolution of the partnership, Janet should receive:

Answer 1

Answer:

$30,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount received by Janet is given below:

Loss on sale of other assets is

= $150,000 - $50,000

= $100,000

Share of Janet in loss is

= $100,000 × 5 ÷ 10

= $50,000

So,  

Janet revised capital balance is

= $80,000 - $50,000

= $30,000
