85. Treatment of debit balance in capital account
• To illustrate the situation lets change our assumptions
concerning the sale of the assets by the firm of Royal
Simms and Tate and say that the partnership
assets(except cash) are sold to North Corporation for
$206000. the amount of cash received by the
partnership is $24000 less than in the prior example.
And the loss incurred on the sale of assets is $144000
rather than the $120000 Tate one third share of a
$144000 loss would be $48000, which would wipe out
the $40000 credit balance in his capital account and
create an $8000 debit balance. After the liabilities are
paid , the balance sheet for the partnership would
appear as follow:
