The Problem of Partnership.

This query is : Resolved 

12 March 2008 Here is the question:

A, B, C & D were in partnership sharing p/l in the ratio of 4:3:2:1 respewctively. they decided to dissolve the firm on 31 Dec. 2006, when their B/s was as follows

Liabilities Amt Assets Amt.
Capital
A 7000 Cash 1000
B 4000 Debtors 25000
C 8000 Stock 12000
D 3000 B/R 7000
Bank Loan 10000 Loss 15000
Loan from B 4000
Creditor 24000
....... .......
60000 60000
....... ........

The Assets were realised as follows
a. Debtors Rs. 25,000
b. B/R Rs. 6,000
c. Stock Rs. 9,000
d. B & D were both become insolvent
Give Necessary a/cs in the books of the firm acc. to the Indian practice.


Now my question is

a. what should be the treatment of loss which is given in the question ? In how many of the partners will it be distributed?

b. Is it right to use Garner Vs Murray to solve the problem if not then what is the actual difference b/w Garner vs Murray and Indian Practice.

13 March 2008 Mr. Anuraag,

here is the solution:

loss (shown in the B/S) distibuted between all the partners in the ration of 4:3:2:1

different between Garner v/s Murrey b/w Indian Practice is just on the view of any loss (reveluation loss) arise due to insolvent of any partner(s), other partner bring loss in cash & according to Garner v/s Murrey the share of loss of insolvent partner(s) bear by other partner(s) in the ratio of their capital.but in Indian Practice, no need to bring loss in cash.
