Question

 

The partnership of Butler, Osman, and Ward was formed several years ago as a local tax preparation firm. Two partners have reached retirement age, and the partners have decided to terminate operations and liquidate the business. Liquidation expenses of $50,000 are expected. The partnership balance sheet at the start of liquidation is as follows:

 

               
Cash $ 46,000   Liabilities $ 186,000  
Accounts receivable   76,000   Butler, loan   46,000  
Office equipment (net)   66,000   Butler, capital (25%)   130,000  
Building (net)   190,000   Osman, capital (25%)   46,000  
Land   180,000   Ward, capital (50%)   150,000  
Total assets $ 558,000   Total liabilities and capital $ 558,000  
 

 

The following transactions transpire in chronological order during the liquidation of the partnership:

 

  1. Collected 90 percent of the accounts receivable and wrote the remainder off as uncollectible.

  2. Sold the office equipment for $28,000, the building for $142,000, and the land for $184,000.

  3. Distributed safe payments of cash.

  4. Paid all liabilities in full.

  5. Paid actual liquidation expenses of $38,000 only.

  6. Made final cash distributions to the partners.

 

Prepare journal entries to record these liquidation transactions. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
