Answer #1

Answer:

a. $13,000

b.$46,000

Explanation:

a.

Total capital of the partnership = $28,000+ $100,000 = $128,000

Given, assets were sold for $46,000

Total deficiency = $128,000 - $46,000 = $82,000

50% of deficiency = $82,000 * 50% = $41,000 ( as this is an equal partnership)

Pepper's deficiency = $41,000 - $28,000 ( his capital) = $13,000

b.

If Pepper is not able to satisfy his deficiency, the only amount available to Morrison will be the amount acquired by selling assets if partnership.

So the amount distributed to Morrison will be $46,000
