PARTNERSHIPS:LIQUIDATIONS
Slide 26-2
26FOCUS OF CHAPTER 26
Fundamental Procedures in Liquidation
Lump-Sum Liquidations Installment Liquidations
Slide 26-3
26 Sharing of Gains & LossesDuring Liquidation
Gains and losses incurred on the realizationof noncash assets during liquidation are: Allocated among the partners in the
profit-and-loss sharing ratio (such as 4:3:1).
UNLESS agreed to otherwise by the partners.
Slide 26-4
26 Consequences of A PartnerBeing Personally Insolvent
A partner having a capital account deficitmay be able to eliminate the deficit by: Capital contribution. Setoff.
A deficit that cannot be eliminated, is allocated to: The remaining partners who have
POSITIVE capital balances(using their P/L sharing ratio).
+
Slide 26-5
26 Consequences of A PartnerBeing Personally Insolvent
A partner that winds up absorbing someor all of another partner’s capital deficit has: Legal recourse against that partner.
Because that partner has broken the terms of the partnership agreement.
Slide 26-6
26 Sharing Profits and Losses:In The Ratio of Capital Balances
Sharing profits and losses in the ratio of capital balances: Is one of the most important safeguards
used in partnership agreements. Results in no partner EVER having a
capital account deficit balance until the losses incurred in liquidation exceed the TOTAL partnership capital. Thus ALL partners go into a deficit
position SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Slide 26-7
26The Rule of Setoff
A deficit balance in a partner’s capital account can be eliminated to the extent that such partner has a loan to the partnership.
Note Payable Capital, to Jones JonesBalances before setoff....... $30,000 $(11,000) Apply rule of setoff........ (11,000) 11,000Balances after setoff....….. $19,000 $ -0-
Slide 26-8
26No More “Marshaling of Assets”
In liquidation: PARTNERSHIP CREDITORS have first
priority as to PARTNERSHIP ASSETS. PERSONAL CREDITORS of an
insolvent partner do NOT have first priority as to PERSONAL ASSETS of that partner. They share on a pro rata basis
with partnership creditors.
Slide 26-9
26 Installment Liquidations:Priority In Distributing Cash
No cash distributions are made to partners until creditors have been
paid in full (100%).
This holds true for BOTH: Lump-sum liquidations. Installment liquidations.
Slide 26-10
26 Installment Liquidations:Different Strokes For Different Folks
The amount to be distributed to each partner at any point in time can be determined by preparing either of the following items: Schedules of safe payments at each
cashdistribution date. Will have to be done several times.
A cash distribution plan at the beginning of the liquidation process. Need be done only once.

Slide 26-11
26Installment Liquidations
The EFFECT of distributing cash to partners based on either (a) schedules of safe payments or (b) cash distribution plans, is to:
Bring the capital balances into the profit-and-loss sharing ratio.
“CONVERGENCE”
Slide 26-12
26 Installment Liquidations:Loss Absorption Potentials
Conceptually, the first cash distribution to partners goes to that partner who has:
THE HIGHEST LOSS ABSORPTION POTENTIAL. This is NOT necessarily the partner
that has the highest capital balance.
Slide 26-13
26 Installment Liquidations: Loss Absorption Potentials--Calculating
The loss absorption potential of each partner is calculated by:
Dividing the partner’s capital balance by his or her profit-and-loss sharing percentage.Capital balance of Jones............ $80,000
= $400,000Jones’ P/L sharing percentage.. 20% Loss Absorption Potential
Slide 26-14
26 Installment Liquidations: Loss Absorption Potentials--Implications
Consequences of Having the Highest Loss Absorption Potential: He or she will be: The first partner to receive cash.
The partner that could suffer the greatest inequity inrelation to his or her capital balance. It is NOT a good thing to have
the highest loss absorption potential.
Slide 26-15
26 Installment Liquidations: Loss Absorption Potentials--Loans “To”
In calculating a partner’s loss absorption potential, a partner’s loan to the partnership
is ADDED TO the partner’s capital balance.
Capital balance, Jones................ $80,000Note payable to Jones............... 10,000 Total.......................................... $90,000 = $450,000Jones’ P/L sharing percentage... 20% Loss Absorption Potential
PLUS
Slide 26-16
26 Installment Liquidations: Loss Absorption Potentials--Loans “From”
In calculating a partner’s loss absorption potential, a partner’s loan from the partnership is SUBTRACTED FROM the partner’s capital balance.
Capital balance, Jones................ $80,000Note receivable from Jones...... (5,000) Total.......................................... $75,000 = $375,000Jones’ P/L sharing percentage... 20% Loss Absorption Potential
MINUS
Slide 26-17
26 The Statement of Realizationand Liquidation
The STATEMENT OF REALIZATION AND LIQUIDATION is A historical statement. It portrays what actually
happened in the past(during the liquidationprocess).
Income statements are not prepared duringthis period.
Slide 26-18
26The Schedule of Safe Payments
In contrast to the Statement of Realization and Liquidation, the SCHEDULE OF SAFE PAYMENTS is A pro forma (what if) statement. It portrays what could happen in
the future--on a worst-case basis.
