Prior to liquidation, the partnership had no cash assets other than what was realized from the sale of assets. These partnership assets were sold for $144,000. The partnership had $5,000 of liabilities. Perkins and Brooks share income and losses equally. Determine the amount received by Brooks as a final distribution from liquidation of the partnership.
Question (b): Steve Conyers and Chelsy Poodle formed a partnership, dividing income as follows: Annual salary allowance to Poodle of $170,500. Interest of 6% on each partner's capital balance on January 1. Any remaining net income divided to Conyers and Poodle, 1:2. Conyers and Poodle had $77,600 and $75,000, respectively, in their January 1 capital balances. Net income for the year was $310,000. How much is distributed to Conyers and Poodle?
