Question

Everett, Miguel, and Ramona are partners, sharing income 1:2:3. After selling all of the assets for cash, dividing losses on realization, and paying liabilities, the balances in the capital accounts are as follows: Everett, $53,300 Cr.; Miguel, $46,200 Dr.; and Ramona, $39,800 Cr. How much cash is available for distribution to the partners?

Answer 1

$46,900 cash is available for distribution to the partners

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the distribution of cash is shown below:

= Everett capital credit balance + Ramona capital credit balance - Miguel capital credit balance

= $53,300 + $39,800 - $46,200

= $46,900

We simply added the credit balances and deduct the debit balance for calculation of the cash distribution to the partners
