    A. - $17,000

    B. $55,000

    Explanation:

    value of assets on liquidation = $30,000 + $119,000

    =$149,000

    Less : sale value of assets = $55,000

    Loss on liquidation = $94,000

    Pepper's liability in loss = $94,000 * 1/2 = $47,000 Pepper's deficiency = $47,000 - $30,000 = $17,000

    Amount distributed to Russo = $119,000 - Share in loss

    = $119,000 - ($94,000*1/2)

    = $119,000 - $47,000

    = $55,000
