Hello Fatima. The last cash distribution is not made by any ratio. Whatever is in their capital accounts is distributed to the partners i.e. Pool's Share would be 44,980 and Burns' Share would be 27,240

Discount Received

I believe its treatment will base on following entry; discount received 300 (dr) capital-pool 300 (Cr) and discount received debit 300 and burns account credit. In this way, you will be able to treat this transaction into capital account with balance b/d of owners. So, the remaining part of sundry creditors will be treated with its real value which is 3800 after discount. Hope this answer will satisfy you. Thanks |
