As they are partners we divide their partnership ratio respectively:
Accounts Receivable:
35% of face value= 132000*35/100=46200
Joe= 46200*4/10=18480
Jim= 46200*4/10=18480
Jay= 46200*2/10=9240
Land, building & Equipment= 41000
Joe=41000*4/10=16400
Jim=41000*4/10=16400
Jay=41000*2/10=8200
Liabilities=131000
Joe=131000*4/10=52400
Jay=131000*4/10=52400
Jim=131000*2/10=26200
Cash=35000
Joe=35000*4/10=14000
Jay=35000*4/10=14000
Jim=35000*2/10=7000
Hence all partners distributed their shares according to the partnership sharing ratio.
