b. $46,000

c. $60,000

d. $49,500

Answer 1

correct option is b. $46,000

Explanation:

given data

cash, $20,000

other assets = $160,000

liabilities= $40,000

Morgan capital = $60,000

Rockwell capital = $80,000

other assets sold = $139,000

profits and losses = 2:1

solution

we know here loss on sale is assets - assets sold

loss on sale = 160000 - 139000

loss on sale = $21000

and

Morgan share is = 21000 ×
`(2)/(3)` = $14000

and Rockwell share is = 21000 ×
`(1)/(3)` = $7000

now we find amount of cash that Morgan receive as final cash

final cash distribution is = Morgan capital - share is loss

final cash distribution = 60000 - 14000 = $46000

so correct option is b. $46,000
