Question

Everett, Miguel, and Ramona are partners, sharing income 1:2:3. After selling all of the assets for cash, dividing losses on realization, and paying liabilities, the balances in the capital accounts are as follows: Everett, $52,800 Cr.; Miguel, $47,500 Dr.; and Ramona, $37,400 Cr. How much cash is available for distribution to the partners

Answer 1

$42,700 cash is available for distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the cash available for sharing, we will first identify the debit and credit transactions. Debit transactions are expenditures, while credit transactions are incomes, hence we need to calculate the difference between the income and the expenditure.

Available cash = Everett (credit) - Miguel (debit) + Ramona (credit)

Available cash = 52,800 - 47,500 + 37,400 = $42,700

Therefore $42,700 is available in cash for distribution to the partners
