- Dissolution is the change in the capital structure and the closure of a business while liquidation is for the winding up of business affairs—paying all the liabilities of the
partnership and distributing all the remaining cash to respective partners as returns of their investment.
2. What are the causes of partnership liquidation?
- The causes of partnership dissolution with liquidation are:
Accomplishment of the partnership’s purpose, which is the reason the partnership was organized.
The termination of the period covered by the partnership contract.
The bankruptcy of the firm
The mutual agreement between the partners to close the business.
3. What are the types of liquidation? Differentiate one from the other.
- There are 2 types of liquidation; lump-sum liquidation (liquidation by totals) and installment liquidation (piece-meal).
Lump-sum liquidation is the distribution of cash to the partners after the realization of non-cash asset, allocation of gains or loss on realization, and payment of all
the partnership’s liabilities.
The Installment liquidation, however, is the distribution of cash to partners on a periodic basis as it becomes available, which even before the realization of all non-
cash asset.
4. Discuss the procedures in liquidation.
- The first thing to do when a partnership is to be liquidated is to close all the nominal accounts of the business. The total profit or loss of the business will then,
transferred to respective partners according to their profit or loss share. Advances and withdrawals are also to be closed to capital accounts. Next, is the selling of non-
cash asset to cash and distribute it according to the partner’s profit and loss ratio, if there is no liquidation ratio. Then, the partnership’s cash available for distribution is
to be paid to the outside creditors of the business. There are instances that the partnership may incur liquidation expenses from facilitating the immediate realization of
non-cash assets. If the realization resulted as loss, the loss is to be allocated to the partners as a deduction. There will be a situation where the partner will have a total
debit in his/her capital account after the distribution of the loss on realization. If that happens, the partner has the right to offset his loan balance to the partnership to
lower the amount of deficiency. Finally, the remaining cash available for distribution, after all paying all the liabilities of the partnership, is then paid to partners,
applying first on loan and then on capital accounts. Other instances that the business may encounter, is when the partner is deficient, if the partner is solvent, he can
make additional cash investment as a second cash distribution to the partners. However, if the partner is insolvent, the deficiency shall be absorbed by the other partners
according to their profit and loss ratio as additional loss.
5. What is a statement of liquidation?
- It is the summary of the liquidation process. It shows the realization of non-cash assets, allocation of gains or loss on realization, and distribution of cash to creditors
and partners. It will also be the supporting basis of the journal entries to be recorded.
6. Is it true that the column headings of the statement of liquidation follow the basic accounting equation? Why or why not?
- Yes, because just like in the accounting equation, what changes on one account will affect the other. And by doing this, we can clearly show and summarize the
deduction and addition in each account in a concise manner.
7. What is the basis of final cash distribution to partners?
- The basis of final cash is distribution is on partner’s capital balances.
8. What is the right of offset? When can it be exercised?
- The right of offset allows the partnership to take the partner’s loan as a deduction for partner’s capital deficiency. It can only be done if the partner has a loan to the
partnership and has capital deficiency.
9. What is the basis for dividing gains or losses on realization?
- The basis for allocating the gains or losses on realization is based on the profit and loss ratio of the partners, however, if there is a specific liquidation ratio, it will be
used thereof.
10. How may the capital deficiency of an insolvent partner be eliminated?
- If the partner has capital deficiency and also insolvent in that manner, the remaining partners will absorb the deficiency according to their profit/loss ration as additional
loss.
11. What is the order of payment of partnership liabilities?
- Generally, the order of payment of partnership liabilities, prioritized first the partnership’s outsidde creditors, second are the partners who are also creditors of the
partnership, and third, if there are remaining assets, the partners who have claims over capital to the partnership are entitled to the capital accounts.
12. What is a partner’s restricted interest? Free interest?
- Restricted interest is the possible loss of the partners if in case the deficient partner fails to pay his deficiency.
- Free interest is the amount to be paid to the partners.
13. What purpose is served by the schedule of cash distribution?
- The purpose of the schedule of cash distribution is to determine the sequence of the partner and the amount of cash that the partners will receive as cash becomes
available.
14. What are the rules to be applied in case of capital deficiency?
- If a partner face capital deficiency he can make an additional cash investment to eliminate his deficiency or charge the deficiency to the remaining partners as additional
loss, if the partner is insolvent.
15. Describe how loans receivable from partners and loans payable to partners are treated in liquidation and why is that treatment necessary?
- If a partner withdraws a substantial amount of money with the intention of repaying it, the debit should be to Loans Receivable. It is treated as the expected payment
from the indebted partner, which will be included in total cash of the partnership for distribution. This account is classified separately from the other receivables of the
partnership. A partner may also lend asset to the partnership in excess of his intended permanent investment. These advances are called as Loans Payable and is
classified among the liabilities but separate from liabilities to outsiders. It is treated as the expected payment from the partnership to the partner. It is necessary to
distinct these two in case of liquidation. Loans payable to partners must be paid after the claims of outside creditors have been paid in full. These loans have priority
