Answer:

BG Land Development

If partners are to receive the final payment in a lump-sum, when BG Land Development is liquidated, Matthews receives $_50,000__, Mitchell receives $_66,000___, Michaels receives $__14,000__.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Assets Liabilities and Capital

Cash $20,000 Accounts payable $80,000

Non-cash assets 200,000 Mitchell, Loan 10,000

Matthews, capital 50,000

Mitchell, capital 66,000

Michaels, capital 14,000

Total assets $220,000 Total Liab. and capital $220,000

Totals assets = $220,000

Total liabilities (90,000)

Net assets = $130,000

Partners' capital:

Matthews, capital 50,000

Mitchell, capital 66,000

Michaels, capital 14,000

Total capital = 130,000

b) Each partner is entitled to the ratio of his capital balance or the profit and loss sharing ratio, if any. The net asset is computed by deducting all the liabilities, including one of the partners' loans, from the total value of realizable assets. Ordinarily, partners' loans enjoy priority over capital refund during partnership liquidation.
