Answer 1

Barley $29,000; Carter $23,000 ;Desai $0

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine How much of this money should each of the partners receive

PARTNER WITH DEFICIT CAPITAL BALANCE

Barley,Capital(50%) Carter,Capital(30%)

Desai,Capital(20%)

Reported balances $44,000 $32,000 $(24,000)

Potential loss from Desai deficit

(split 5/8:3/8)

($15,000)($9,000) $24,000

Barley (5/8*$24,000=$15,000)

Carter (3/8*$24,000=$9,000)

Desai($15,000)($9,000) =$24,000

Cash distributions $29,000 $23,000 $0

Barley ($44,000-$15,000=$29,000)

Carter, ($32,000-$9,000=$23,000)

Desai($24,000-$24,000=0)

Therefore The amount of the money that each of the partners should receive is :

Barley $29,000; Carter $23,000 ;Desai $0
