Answer
| Oliver and Ansari | |||
| Distribution of Cash | |||
| Oliver | Ansari | Total | |
| Capital Balances before realization | $ 61,000 | $ 82,000 | $ 143,000 |
| Division of gain on realization | $ 18,000 | $ 18,000 | |
| Capital Balances after realization | $ 79,000 | $ 100,000 | |
| Cash distributed to partners | $ 79,000 | $ 100,000 | |
| Final Balances | $ 0 | $ 0 |
Note
Capital Balance after Realization = Capital Balance before Realization + Division of gain on Realization.
Division of Gain on Realization
Gain on Realization = Cash of $179,000 after sale of assets - capital of $61,000 - capital of $82,000
So, Gain on Realization = $36,000
Profit Sharing Ratio = 1:1
So, Division of Gain on Realizatio is $36,000*1/2 = $18,000
