Mischief · Answer 1

Joyce cash distribution = $262500

Explanation:

given data

Joyce capital = $50,000

Xi capital = $105,000

liabilities = $10,000

assets sold = $190,000

to find out

we consider Determine the amount received by Joyce as a final distribution from liquidation of the partnership

solution

we carrying value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation is

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation = $50,0000 + $105,000 + $10,000

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation = $615000

so Profit on Liquidation is = value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation - Sale of Asset

Profit on Liquidation is = $615000 - $190,000

Profit on Liquidation is = $ 425000

and here since

Joyce and Xi share income and losses equally

so Joyce share of profit will be

Joyce share of profit = 50% * $ 425000

Joyce share of profit = $212500

and

so Joyce cash distribution will be

Joyce cash distribution = Joyce share of profit + Joyce capital

Joyce cash distribution = $212500 + $50,000

Joyce cash distribution = $262500
