Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Turner Roth Lowe

Income and loss sharing ratio: 1 4 5

Assets before liquidation = $130,800

Liabilities = $82,000

Capital balances $2,900 $14,200 $31,700

Cash received from sale of assets = $52,000 ($82,000 - $30,000)

Loss from sale of assets = $78,800 ($130,800 - $52,000)

Loss sharing ($78,800) $7,880 $31,520 $39,400

Contribution to cover deficiency $3,000 $12,000 $15,000
