Because Because of the the right right of offse offset, t, Alo Alo probably probably will will not have have any any prior priority ity or advan advantag tagee sole solely ly because because a portion of Alo’s investment in the partnership is recognized as a loan rather than as an increase in Alo’s capital account balance. The right of offset means that a partner's loan account may be offset against a debit balance (or potential debit balance) in that partner's capital account during the liquidation of the LLP. Assum Assumin ing g that that the the partne partnerr with with a debi debitt balan balance ce has has no no loa loan n accou account nt or or that that the the balan balance ce of the the partner’s loan account is insufficient to eliminate the debit balance of the partner’s capital account when the right of offset is exercised, the partner is obligated to pay sufficient cash to the LLP to eliminate the capital deficit. If the partner is unable to do so, the capital deficit must be absorbed by the other partners as an additional loss to be shared in the same proportion as they previously have shared net income and loss among a mong themselves. themselves. The The cash cash of of $32,5 $32,500 00 may may b bee dist distrib ribute uted d wit witho hout ut del delay ay to to Cor Cor and to Don. Don. The The cash cash paym paymen entt should be divided between Cor and Don to leave a sufficient credit balance in the capital account of each to absorb any additional loss if Ell fails to pay the $5,000 capital deficit to the LLP. The appropriate payments are $21,875 to Cor and $10,625 to Don. The possible additional loss of $5,000 is divided between Cor and Don in a 5:3 ratio. Fin's Fin's positi position on cannot cannot be supporte supported; d; Fin is responsi responsibl blee for for all all unpaid unpaid liabil liabiliti ities es of the gener general al partnership. Partnership creditors may demand payment in full from any partner and are not concerned with the status of a partner's capital account or with the terms of the partnership contract for sharing net income or losses. The capital account of Han has a debit balance balance of $30,000 ($16,000 + $2,000 $2, 000 + $12,000 = $30,000). If Fin pays the partnership creditors all or part of their claims, the journal entry of the partnership will be to debit Trade Accounts Payable and credit Fin's capital account for the amount of the payment. The The salary salary auth authori orize zed d for for Ile Ile as gen genera erall manag manager er is rec record orded ed by by a deb debit it to to Partne Partner's r's Salary Salary Expen Expense se and a credit to Ile, Capital. Thus, the "unpaid salary" is not a liability. The salary provision in the partnership contract was a form of remuneration to Ile that increases Ile’s equity in net assets of the partnership. The The inco incom me-sha e-shari ring ng ratio ratio sho shoul uld d gove govern. rn. The The con contrac tractt with with resp respect ect to to shari sharing ng of of net net inco incom me and losses is an unqualified agreement. Because the contract is not expressly limited to operating income or losses, application of any such limitation would not be in accord with the contract. The LLP is not dissolved by the decision to discontinue operations, and the agreement concerning the division of net income and losses is still in effect. All losses represent a loss of capital invested in a limited liability partnership. The net income or losses from operations that previously have been divided are periodic estimates. The ultimate (lifetime) income or loss of the partnership is not determinable until the partnership is liquidated. The loss or gain on realization of assets is a correction of all previous periodic income estimates, and it also should be divided in the income-sharing ratio.

If cash cash is dis distri tribut buted ed to to partne partners rs as it bec becom omes es avai availab lable le duri during ng a prol prolon onge ged d limi limite ted d liabi liabili lity ty partnership liquidation, each payment should be made as if no more cash would be forthcoming from either realization of assets or collection of capital deficits from partners. Under these assumptions, the liquidator will authorize a payment to a partner only to the extent that the credit balance of the partner's capital account (or in the capital and loan accounts combined) is in excess of the partner's share of the maximum possible loss that may be incurred. A partner's share of the maximum possible loss reflects the possibility that all remaining noncash assets may prove worthless and that the partner may be charged with additional losses if the other partners are unable to pay to the partnership any deficit that may occur in their capital accounts. No jou journa rnall entri entries es are ent enter ered ed in in the the LLP’ LLP’s accou account ntin ing g recor records ds for for possib possible le los losse sess from from futur futuree realization of partnership assets. The computation of the estimated loss and its division among the partners is a working paper item; journal entries are prepared for actual transactions or events only. The total total amoun amountt of of cash cash rece receiv ived ed by each partner partner in in an an insta installm llment ent liqui liquidati dation on should should be the the same same as if the liquidator had retained all cash until all noncash assets were realized and liabilities paid and then had made a single cash payment to the partners. One exception might be that if the liquidator were able to earn interest on the cash retained during the course of the liquidation, the interest would increase the amount of cash to be distributed to partners. Cash recei receive ved d from from realiza realizatio tion n of lim limite ited d liabil liability ity partne partnersh rship ip noncas noncash h assets assets durin during g an insta installm llment ent liquidation may be distributed in the income-sharing ratio if the balances of the partners' equities in the partnership are in the income-sharing ratio. The $7,000 $7,000 note note receiv receivabl ablee from from San San shoul should d be be ded deducte ucted d from from San's capital capital accou account nt balanc balancee to compute San's capacity to absorb losses. The possible loss if all other noncash assets should prove to be worthless worthless would would be $54,000 ($30,000 + $25,000 + $21,000 – $7,000 – $15,000 = $54,000), to be charged against the partners' capital account balances in the amount of $18,000 to each. The cash of $18,000 now available should be divided $13,000 to Rab, $1,000 to San, and $4,000 to Tay. This will leave each partner with a capital account balance of $18,000, which is sufficient to absorb each partner's share of the maximum possible additional loss. Partner Partner Urb may have have recei receive ved d less less cash than than the other other partners partners who who had had smal smaller ler capital capital accou account nt balances for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Urb's share of net incom incomee or loss was the largest, largest, and substantial losses losses were incurred incurred in the realization of partnership noncash assets; or Urb's share was the smallest, and substantial gains were realized from the partnership noncash assets. (2) The assets of the partnership partnership may have inclu included ded a loan receivable receivable from from Urb that was offset against Urb's capital account balance. (3) Van and Woo Woo may have had loan accounts that, when combined combined with their their capital accounts, ac counts, gave them larger partnership equities than Urb's. (4) Urb may have withdrawn withdrawn noncash noncash assets from the partnership during during the liquidati liquidation. on. The carrying carrying amounts amounts of of the the LLP’ LLP’s assets assets shoul should d be be increa increased sed to curren currentt fair fair value value on the date date of incorporation because Yang-Zee Corporation is a new legal entity and accounting entity separate from its owners. Even though all the capital stock of Yang-Zee has been issued in equal amounts to the former partners, the corporation may later obtain authorization for additional capital stock to be issued to outsiders. In this event, Yang and Zee will suffer if the partnership asset values are not revised upward on the date of incorporation because of the understatement of their investments in Yang-Zee Corporation as compared with the investments of other shareholders. Also, in obtaining credit or bank financing, Yang-Zee Corporation may be handicapped by the understatement of assets and understatement of stockholders' equity.

A joint venture differs from a partnership in that it is a temporary association of individuals or business enterprises that combine resources for the purpose of carrying out a specific project, such as exploration for petroleum in a foreign country. A joint venture has many of the characteristics of a partnership, but it terminates on the completion of the specific project for which it was formed. The life of a joint venture is more likely to be measured in months than in years. Corporate joint ventures are corporations owned and operated by a small group of joint venturers for the benefit of all the venturers. The ownership of a corporate joint venture seldom changes, and its common stock generally is not traded publicly. The APB, in Opinion No. 18, 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock," concluded that the equity method of accounting should be used by venturers (investors) to account for investments in common stock of corporate joint ventures. Under the equity method, the Investment in Corporate Joint Venture ledger account is debited in the accounting records of each venturer for amounts invested and for the pro rata share of net income reported by the venture; the account is credited for dividends received from the corporate joint venture and for the pro rata share of net losses incurred by the venture. Under Under the the equ equity ity meth method od of of accounti accounting ng for for an inves investm tment ent in in an uninc unincorpo orporate rated d joint joint vent venture, ure, each each investor records its share of the venture's net income or losses in the investment ledger account and reduces the balance of the investment account by the amount of cash or other assets received from the venture. In the investor's balance sheet the investment in the joint venture is displayed as one amount, and in the investor's income statement the investor's share of net income or net loss of the venture is displayed as a single amount. In contrast, under the proportionate share method of accounting for an investment in an unincorporated joint venture, each investor recognizes in its accounting records its share of each asset, liability, revenue, gain, expense, and loss of the venture. Thus the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses of the investor in its financial statements include the investor's share of the related items of the joint venture.

CASES Case 3–1
Those who believe that the limited liability partnership (LLP) form does damage the mutual agency characteristic of a general partnership might point out that an LLP provides a type of screen between and among partners. Knowing that he or she is responsible only for his or her acts and the acts of employees being supervised, a partner of an LLP might be somewhat oblivious to the conduct and acts of other partners. The feeling of "all for one and one for all" might be lost. Conversely, those who argue to the contrary might allege that, knowing he or she is not liable for the acts of another partner, a partner of an LLP might be less inclined to "look over the shoulders" of fellow partners and thus less apprehensive about the possibility of misconduct by other partners. Thus, the partner may have a more collegial relationship one one contributory to mutual agency with with other partners.
In order to prepare a cash distribution program for the liquidating Nance, Olson, & Peale LLP, Nancy Lane must estimate the amount of the partnership's unrecorded trade accounts payable and other unrecorded liabilities. Methods for such estimating include reviewing unpaid invoices and statements from vendors and other suppliers of goods and services; requesting current statements from vendors and suppliers for whom such documents are not available at the partnership; controlling incoming mail and screening it for invoices and statements from vendors and suppliers; determining if all required payroll taxes and sales taxes, as well as other taxes, have been paid; and inquiring of the partners, after they review lists of unpaid liabilities developed through the foregoing procedures, if they know of any other unpaid liabilities. After developing an estimate of total unrecorded liabilities by means of the foregoing procedures, Lane may withhold cash in that amount during the installment liquidation of the partnership. Case 3–3 a. The creditors of the partnership have total claims of $46,000 ($21,000 + $55,000 – $30,000 = $46,000, the net debit balance of the three capital accounts). They may collect their claims in full from Berg, who has net assets of $65,000 ($110,000 – $45,000 = $65,000), or they may collect in part from Loomis, who has $10,000 ($55,000 – $45,000 = $10,000) of net assets, and collect the remainder from Berg. b. The creditors of Berg and Loomis may collect in full, because both are solvent; the creditors of Hancock may collect only $20,000, the amount of her assets. This represents only 50% of their claims. They can collect nothing from the partnership, because the partnership has no cash and Hancock has no equity in the partnership. c. Because Hancock Hancock is insolv insolvent, ent, her her $21,000 capital deficit deficit represent representss an additional additional loss to be divided equally between Berg and Loomis. After allocation of this loss, Berg will have an equity of $19,500 ($30,000 – $10,500 = $19,500), and Loomis's debit balance will increase to $65,500 ($55,000 + $10,500 $10, 500 = $65,500). $65, 500). If the creditors of the partnership have collected their total claims from Berg, his equity will have risen to $65,500 ($19,500 + $46,000 = $65,500), but he will be able to collect from Loomis only $10,000, the excess of Loomis's personal resources over the claims of his personal creditors. Berg's ultimate loss would have been the same, that is, $66,000 ($30,000 + $46,000 – $10,000 = $66,000) if Loomis had used some of his resources to pay partnership creditors, because this act would have reduced the need for such payments by Berg and would have reduced the amount Berg collected from Loomis. Case 3–2

Case 3–4
a. The liquidation procedures followed by Lois Allen were not entirely appropriate. The partners had agreed to share net income and losses equally, and this 50:50 ratio was applicable not only during the operation of the partnership but also to gains and losses from liquidation. By dividing the gains and losses from realization of noncash assets in a 40:60 ratio, Allen caused Barbara Brett to bear an inappropriate portion of the loss (or to receive an inappropriate portion of the gain). Allen also erred in treating Brett's loan as payable in full, regardless of the amount of loss to be deducted from the partners' capital accounts. Because of the right of offset, no priority attaches to a partner's loan account in liquidation. b. Brett's capital account balance prior to liquidation was $60,000. If she received $24,000 in settlement of her capital account in addition to full payment of her loan account, she incurred a loss of $36,000 ($60,000 – $24,000 = $36,000) in the liquidation. Under the procedure followed by Allen in the liquidation, the $36,000 loss to Brett was 60% of the total loss of $60,000 ($36,000 ÷ 0.60 = $60,000).
If the liquidation had been handled properly, the total loss of $60,000 would have been divided equally between the partners. Allen would have received $10,000 ($40,000 – $30,000 = $10,000) cash in settlement of her equity, and Brett would have received $40,000 including her loan account ($70,000 – $30,000 = $40,000). The improper methods used by Allen resulted in an overpayment to her and an underpayment to Brett of $6,000. A question also might be raised as to whether Allen exceeded her authority by realizing the assets without approval by Brett of the amounts to be accepted. Case 3–5 Because many of the questions raised by the partners of the Wells, Conner & Zola Partnership involve provisions of the Uniform Partnership Act, in effect in most states, and the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, it is advisable for the partnership's accountant to request that the partners retain an independent attorney, other than their personal attorneys, to provide counsel on legal issues. Apart from that, the partnership's accountant may respond to accounting-type questions as follows: (1) Because the goodwill goodwill was recognized when when Zola was admitted to the partnership, it most likely is impaired and thus should be written off. However, the write-off should be absorbed by the partners in their income-sharing ratio because the events causing the goodwill to become worthless occurred after the formation of the present partnership. In any event, in view of Zola's personal bankruptcy and capital deficit in the partnership, it would make no sense to charge the entire goodwill write-off to Zola's capital. (2) Pending legal legal advice to the the contrary, the note and interest payable to partner Wells may not be paid prior to determination of the amounts to be realized from the partnership's office equipment and library, because if losses on realization caused Wells's capital account to have a debit balance, he would have to repay the partnership part or all of the amount he had received for the note and interest. Because both Wells and Conner intend to continue the practice of public accounting, the accountant for the dissolving and liquidating Wells, Conner & Zola Partnership might advise Wells and Conner to consider reestablishing the previous Wells & Conner Partnership and merely transfer their interests in the liquidating partnership to it. Alternatively, if Wells and Conner decide to go their separate ways, they might consider receiving the noncash assets in some appropriate split, and any cash remaining after trade accounts payable of $140,000 have been paid, as their residual equity in the liquidating partnership. This course of action would avoid the necessity of incurring possible substantial losses on the realization of the noncash assets. Case 3–6 If Anne Sanchez is not satisfied that a change to the equity method of accounting from the proportionate share method is justified in terms of being preferable for accounting for the Kane & Grant Partnership's investment in KG/WM Company, she should refuse the request of Jane Kane and Lloyd Grant to make the change. It appears that Kane is interested in "window dressing" the prospective corporation's opening balance sheet; that objective does not constitute The © The Solutions Manual, Chapter 3
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2006 126
justification for the change. However, given that the Financial Accounting Standards Board has not yet established accounting standards for investments in unincorporated joint ventures, and that presently two methods of accounting for such investments are used in practice, Sanchez should consider other possible reasons for justification of the accounting change. One reason might be that other venturers in ventures such as KG/WM Company are using the equity method of accounting for their investments; consistency among venturers might then provide justification for a change in the Kane & Grant Partnership's accounting for its investment in KG/WM Company. Case 3–7 An argument in favor of a single accounting method for investments in both corporate and unincorporated joint ventures is the desire for consistency in accounting practices for all business enterprises, regardless of their legal form. Typically, the difference between a corporate joint venture and an unincorporated joint venture is one of legal form; therefore, no justification exists for different accounting methods for investments in joint ventures, whether incorporated or unincorporated. Accompanying the argument for consistency is the argument for comparability; users of financial statements issued by investors in joint ventures should not have to deal with more than one method of accounting for such investments. The choice of a single accounting method for investments in joint ventures is a difficult one. Presumably, because investors in corporate joint ventures do not have unlimited liability for debts of the venture (unless they have guaranteed payment of such debts), the proportionate share method of accounting is inappropriate. However, the opposing argument in favor of the proportionate share method of accounting for investments in unincorporated joint ventures emphasizes that "off-balance-sheet financing" is avoided by use of the method, and that the Financial Accounting Standards Board in recent years has attempted to eliminate that abuse wherever possible. A rebuttal to that argument is that recognition of parts of an unincorporated joint venture's nonmonetary assets in the balance sheet of a venturer is difficult to justify from a theoretical or a practical point of view. Perhaps, because of the different legal statuses of corporate and unincorporated joint ventures, one method of accounting should be established for investments in corporate joint ventures and another method for investments in unincorporated joint ventures. This would be a compromise that would accord recognition to the different obligations for unpaid liabilities of the ventures by investors therein; however, it would place undue emphasis on the legal form of the two types of joint ventures. To sanction more than one type of accounting for investments in both corporate and unincorporated joint ventures is difficult to justify. Accounting standards setters have for decades attempted to narrow differences in accounting treatments for like transactions and events; allowing more than the presently required equity method of accounting for investments in corporate joint ventures would be contradictory to that effort.

Coleman’s Coleman’s loss must be limited to $5,000, or $25,000 for the partnership ($5,000 ÷ 0.20 = $25,000). Because the liquidation of liabilities results in a loss of $500, only $24,500 may be lost on the realization of other assets. This requires that other assets realize $69,500 ($94,000 – $24,500 = $69,500) to enable Coleman to receive $5,000 from the partnership to pay personal creditors in full.

Denson and Feller would receive nothing if Eastin received only $2,000 on the first distribution because Eastin is entitled to 100% of the first $2,400 of any cash distributed after creditors are paid.

If Denson received $20,000 as a result of the liquidation, the total cash distributed must have been $67,900, consisting of $6,000 of cash on hand and $61,900 realized from noncash assets. In reaching this conclusion, one may use the priorities indicated in a on page 142 and prepare the following program of cash payments:
First $20,000 to creditors Next $2,400 to Eastin Next $5,500 to Eastin and Feller in 3:2 ratio

$ 1 0 2 0 0
A short-cut approach to the answer is based on the following: If Denson received $20,000, Denson incurred a loss of $12,000 on a total equity of $32,000. Because Denson’s income-sharing ratio is 50%, the total loss must be $24,000 ($12,000 ÷ 0.50 = $24,000). A loss of $24,000 would mean that the noncash assets, which have a carrying amou amount nt of $85,900 ($91,900 – $6,000 cash = $85,900), must have realized $61,900 ($85,900 – $24,000 = $61,900). c.
If Feller received $6,200 in the first distribution of cash, Denson must have received $10,000. The reason, as shown in a on page 142, is that Feller is entitled to receive $2,200 ($5,500 x 0.40 = $2,200) before Denson gets anything. Feller then received the additional $4,000 as a 20% share of the next $20,000 and Denson received 50% of $20,000, or $10,000.
