| | Scenario 2: The $10,000 cash that exceeds the partnership's liabilities is to be disbursed immediately. If profits and losses are allocated to Partner A, Partner B, Partner C, and Partner D on a 2:2:3:3 basis, respectively, how will the $10,000 be divided? |
| | Scenario 3: The building is immediately sold for $80,000 to give total cash of $142,000. Following the sales, the liabilities are paid, leaving a cash balance of $90,000. This cash is to be distributed to the partners. How will the cash be divided if profits and losses are allocated to Partner A, Partner B, Partner C, and Partner D on a 1:3:3:3 basis, respectively? |
