Floyd 43,500

Merriam 12,500

Ramelow 23,000

Explanation:

heir capital account balances as of December 31, 2020 stood as follows: Floyd $ 46,000

Merriam $ 25,000

Ramelow 1/3 interest.

23,000 is the third of the parthnership

23,000 x 3 = 69,000

46,000 + 25,000 + 23,000 = 94,000

loss of 94,000 - 69,000 = 25,000

distributed equally among the members:

Floyd 46,000 - 25,000 / 2 = 43,500

Merriam 25,000 - 25,000 / 2 = 12,500
