Detailed Solution & Explanation

Generally, the assets sold upon dissolution of partnership are realized only in small instalments over a period of time. In such circumstances the choice is either to distribute whatever is collected or to wait till whole amount is collected. Usually, the first course is adopted. In order to ensure that the distributed cash amongst the partners is in proportion to their interest in the partnership concern either of the two methods described below may be followed for determining the order in which the payment should be made: (i) Maximum Loss Method: Each instalment realized is considered to be the final payment i.e. outstanding assets and claims are considered worthless and partners' accounts are adjusted on that basis each time when a deposit is made following either Garner v. Murray rule or the profit-sharing ratio rule. (ii) Highest Relative Capital Method: According to this method, the partner who has the higher relative capital, that is, whose capital is greater in proportion to his profit-sharing ratio is first paid off. This method is also called as proportionate capital method.
