PARTNERSHIP LIQUIDATION
Answers to Questions
1 Dissolution of a partnership terminates the partnership as a legal entity, but the partnership business may
continue under a new agreement. When a partnership is liquidated, however, the partnership is terminated
both as a legal and as a business entity. Thus, a partnership may be dissolved without liquidation, but it
may not be liquidated without dissolution.
2 A simple partnership liquidation is the liquidation of a solvent partnership in which all partners have equity
capital and all gains and losses are realized and recognized before any distributions are made to the
partners. In simple partnership liquidations, only one cash distribution is made and the amounts distributed
to individual partners are equal to their predistribution capital account balances.
3 The priority ranking for the distribution of assets in liquidation pursuant to UPA is
Rank I Amounts owed to creditors other than partners and

amounts owed to partners other than for capital and profits
Rank II Amounts due to partners after all assets have been liquidated and liabilities paid.
4 Normally if a partner has loaned money to the partnership, those liabilities are repaid before any capital
distributions. However if a partner is owed money and they have a debit (negative) capital balance, the
liability is deducted from the capital shortfall, rather than be distributed.
5 The assumptions for determining distributions to partners prior to recognition of all gains and losses on
liquidation are (1) all partners are personally bankrupt such that no partner could contribute personal assets
into the partnership and (2) all noncash assets are possible losses and should be considered actual losses for
purposes of determining amounts to be distributed. In addition, liquidation expenses and probable loss
contingencies should be estimated and assumed to be actual losses for purposes of determining advance
distributions.
6 Capital balances represent one factor in determining a partner’s equity, but loans and advances payable to
and receivable from the partnership are factors that must also be considered in calculating safe payments.
Partner equities, rather than capital balances, are used in safe payment schedules in order to avoid making
distributions to partners that may end up with debit capital balances; i.e., owing money to the partnership.
7 Safe payment computations per se do not affect ledger account balances. Actual cash distributions based on
safe payments computations do reduce partnership assets and equities and require recognition in ledger
accounts.

17-2 Partnership Liquidation
8 A statement of partnership liquidation is a summary of transactions and balances for a partnership during
its liquidation stage. Such statements provide continuous records of liquidation events. Interim liquidation
statements are particularly helpful in showing the progress that has been made toward liquidation to date
and in identifying remaining assets to be liquidated and liabilities to be paid. Interim liquidation statements
are helpful to partners and creditors in providing a basis for current decisions as well as future planning.
Liquidation statements are important legal documents for partnership liquidations that come under the
jurisdiction of a court.
9 Available cash may be distributed to partners according to their profit and loss sharing ratios only when
nonpartner liabilities have been satisfied and partner equities (capital and loan balances combined) are
aligned with the relative profit and loss sharing ratios of the partners. In the absence of loans or advances
payable to or receivables from individual partners, cash can be distributed to partners in their profit and
loss sharing ratios when capital balances are in the relative profit and loss sharing ratios of the partners and
all nonpartner liabilities have been paid.
10 Vulnerability ranks are an ordering of partners on the basis of the adequacy of their equities in the
partnership to absorb possible partnership losses. The ordering is typically from the most vulnerable to the
least vulnerable. Vulnerability ranks are used in the preparation of assumed loss absorption schedules,
which, in turn, are used in the construction of cash distribution plans.
11 Partnership insolvency occurs when partnership liabilities exceed partnership assets. In this case, all
available cash is distributed to partnership creditors. Individual partners will be called upon to use their
personal assets to satisfy the remaining claims of the partnership creditors.
12 Partners with credit capital balances after all partnership assets have been distributed in liquidation have a
claim against partners with debit capital balances. If the partners with debit balances are personally solvent,
they should pay amounts equal to their debit balances into the partnership so that partners with credit
balances can receive their partnership claims in full. If partners with debit capital balances are insolvent,
the partners with credit balances will absorb the losses of the insolvent partners with debit capital balances
in relation to their relative profit and loss sharing ratios.
