Harding, Jones, and Sandy are in the process of liquidating and the partners have the following capital balances; $24,000, $24,000, and ($9,000) respectively. The partners share all profits and losses 16%, 48%, and 36%, respectively. Sandy has indicated that the ($9,000) deficit will be covered with a forthcoming contribution. The remaining partners have requested to immediately receive $20,000 in cash that is available. How should this cash be distributed?

16/(16+48%)=25.00%  | 48/(16+48%)=75.00%  | |
24,000 + 24,000 + 20,000 =68,000  | ||
68,000*25%=17,000  | 68,000*75%=51,000  | |
24,000+24,000= 48,000  | ||
51,000-48,000=3,000  |
