Schedule of Safe Payments

After working for the In the Kitchen remodeling business for several years, Terry and Phyllis decided to go into business for themselves and formed the Kitchens Just for You partnership. Three years ago, they admitted Connie as a partner and recognized goodwill at that time because of her good client list for planned kitchen makeovers. However, they were not able to gain a sufficient market for new customers and on September 1, 20X9, they agreed to dissolve and liquidate the business. They decided on an installment liquidation in order to complete the projects already initiated. The balance sheet, with profit and loss-sharing percentages at the beginning of liquida­tion, is as follows:

Connie’s loan was for working capital; the loan to Terry was for his unexpected personal medical bills.

During September 20X9, the first month of liquidation, the partnership collected $41,000 in receivables and decided to write off $12,000 of the remaining receivables. Sales of one-half of the book value of the inventory realized a loss of $4,000. The partners estimate that the costs of liquidating the business such as newspaper ads, signs, etc., are expected to be $6,000 for the remainder of the liquidation process.
