Answer 1

1.

Amount of Cash Received
	Nettles	King	Tanaka
Capital balances after realization	$24,000 Dr.	$88,000 Cr.	$64,000 Cr.
Distribution of partner deficiency	- 24,000	- 16,000	- 8,000
Capital balances after deficiency distribution	0	$72,000 Cr.	$56,000 Cr.

Deficiency of $24,000 will be borne by King and Tanaka in their profit sharing ratio of 2:1 i.e. by $16,000 by King and $8,000 by Tanaka

Hence, King will receive $72,000 and Tanaka will receive $56,000.
