CHAPTER 16
PARTNERSHIPS: LIQUIDATION
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Q16-1 The major causes of a dissolution are:
a. Withdrawal or death of a partner b. The specified term or task of the partnership has been completedc. All partners agree to dissolve the partnershipd. An individual partner is bankrupte. By court decree:
i. the partnership cannot achieve its economic purpose(typically defined as seeking a profit
ii. a partner seriously breaches the partnership agreementthat makes it impracticable to continue the partnership
businessiii. !t is not practicable to carry on the partnership in conformity
with the terms of the partnership agreement
The accounting implications of a dissolution are to determine each partner"s capitalbalance on the date of dissolution of the partnership.
Q16-2 The #$A %&&' states that a partnerships liabilities to individual partners have thesame legal status as liabilities to outside parties. )owever* as a practical matter* partnersoften subordinate their loans to the partnership to other debts.
Q16-3 The implications that arise for partners + and , are that both of the partners willbe re-uired to contribute a portion of their capital balances or personal assets to satisfypartnership creditors. $artners + and , will share this contribution according to their relative loss ratio.
Q16-4 !n an at will/ partnership (one without a partnership agreement that states adefinite time period or specific undertaking for the partnership* a partner may simplywithdraw from the partnership. 0any partnerships have a provision in their partnershipagreement for a buyout of an at will/ partner who wishes to leave the partnership.
!n a partnership that has a definite term or a specific undertaking specified in thepartnership agreement* a partner who simply withdraws has committed a wrongfuldissociation. !f the partnership incurs any damages* the partnership may sue the partner who withdraws for the recovery of those damages.
Q16-5 A lump1sum li-uidation of a partnership is one in which all assets are convertedinto cash within a very short time* creditors are paid* and a single* lump1sum payment ismade to the partners for their capital interests. An installment li-uidation is one thatre-uires several months to complete and includes periodic* or installment* payments tothe partners during the li-uidation period.

SOLUTIONS TO CASES
C16-1 Ca! D"#$"%"'( #' Pa$#()$
The issue is that the partnership is being li-uidated and Bull desires cash to bedistributed as it becomes available* while Bear wishes no cash to be distributed until all
assets are sold and the liabilities are settled.
0ost partnership li-uidations are installment li-uidations in which cash is distributedduring the li-uidation. This provides for the partners" li-uidity needs while also providingfor the e8tended time period so the partnership may seek the best price for its assets.T. Bear may desire to hold up cash payments in order to encourage a prompt li-uidationof the assets or to ensure that all liabilities are paid. A compromise may be reached tomeet the needs of both partners.
An agreement may be used to specify the date or other restrictions under which theassets must be li-uidated and the liabilities settled. !n addition* the necessary amountsto settle actual* and anticipated* liabilities (including all li-uidation costs may beescrowed with a trustee* such as a local bank. The remaining cash may then be
distributed.

This case asks -uestions about the 0attfield v Kramer Brothers court case decided by the0ontana Eupreme ourt on 0ay F%* >779. The court case is a really interestingpresentation of some of the major types of problems that can occur in a family partnership.
Etudents may obtain a copy of the court decision by several alternatives as presented in thecase information in the te8tbook. '$ #!) "(#$&,#'$ %)()"# a ,'. ' #!) ,'&$#),""'( " .$'") a# #!) )( ' #!) '/"'( '$ #!" ,!a.#)$
4aculty might decide to make copies for the students or place copies on reserve in thelibrary used by the accounting students in their advanced accounting classes. ourt casesare within the public domain and can be printed verbatim without re-uesting permission.
Answers to the -uestions posed in the te8tbooks %619 are presented in the followingparagraphs.
a. Summary of history of Kramer Brothers Co-Partnership. The partnership began in theearly %&?7s with the father* Laymond Kramer* Er.* providing the initial capital* land* and
cattle. The four brothers were 2on* 2ouglas* William and Lay. !n %&?9* Bill stated his desireto dissociate from the partnership. The other three brothers continued the partnership* but2on was limited as a result of a car accident. !n Muly %&&* 2on left 0ontana but returned in%&&9. !n %&&'* Laymond Er. (the father died which resulted in the four brothers* including2on* discussing the distribution of their fathers interest in the partnership. 777* 2on filed a suit demanding a formal accounting of thepartnership* li-uidation of its assets* and distribution of real property held by the partners astenants in common. 4rom that point* a number of suits and motions went back and forthbetween 2oug* Lay* ydia (their mother* and 2on. 77>* the 2istrict ourtdecided in favor of 2oug* Lay* and ydia* but only for those claims accruing before 0ay >F*%&&9* the five1year period covered by the statute of limitations. F* %&&9. This motionwas rejected by the court* setting up the appeal to 0ontanas Eupreme ourt.
b. Type of partnership. The four brothers and their father had an oral agreement to form thefarming operation. This typically evidences an at will partnership because there is no writtenagreement for a definite term or a specific undertaking. The ensuing difficulties of thepartnership indicate that a formal* written agreement might have avoided some of theproblems. A written agreement could specify a term of e8istenceI might include theprocedures to be used if a partner wished to dissociateI the process of determining adissociated partners partnership buyout price* perhaps involving a neutral valuation and
arbitration e8pert* and other matters the family felt were important based on past events ande8periences among the family. 4or a business of this apparent siJe* it is also recommendedthat they seek advice from an attorney who has e8perience in preparing partnershipagreements. Working out the issues before forming a partnership* and getting theseresolutions into a formal agreement* can really help minimiJe and* perhaps even avoidfuture problems.

C16-5 (continued
c. Bill Kramer’s economic interest in partnership. Bill dissociated from the partnership in%&?9* soon after it was formed. The information presented in the courts decision does notstate if Bill received a buyout from the partnership. !n addition* Bill received a partial interest
from the estate of his father. The appeal motion included Bill as one of the defendants. Thus*it seems clear from the information given that Bill did have a continuing economic interest asof the time the motion was filed on Mune >F* >77.
d. Legal recourse of other partners at time Don dissociated. 2ons dissociation appeared tobe wrongful for which the other partners could seek damages* and to assure that thedissociated partner is obligated for his or her share of the partnerships liabilities at the timeof the dissociation. This normally re-uires a scheduling of all liabilities as of the dissociationdate* something accountants can provide for the partnership. !n addition to filing a revisedEtatement of $artnership Authority with the Eecretary of Etate and the local court clerk* theremaining partners should also ensure that creditors and other third1party vendors with thepartnership are given notice that the dissociated partner no longer has the authority to bind
the partnership. The remaining partners could also have a new partnership agreement* thistime in writing* to provide written evidence that they are continuing the business. Theimportant thing is that the remaining partners have sufficient documentation and evidence of 2ons partnership interest as of the date he dissociated.
e. Reuest for Ray’s and Doug’s personal ta! returns. This was probably an effort todetermine the profit or loss of the partnership from the date the partnership was formed toMuly %&&* when 2on left 0ontana. !n addition* 2ons attorney also asked for the accountingrecords for that same time period. The stated reason for this re-uest was to accomplish anaccurate accounting/ of the partnership and to determine the amount the partnership owed2on. #nder the partnership form of business* the partners recogniJe their share of thepartnerships profit or loss on their personal income ta8 returns. The partnership is not a
separate ta8able entity. The re-uest for the personal ta8 returns of Lay and 2oug may alsohave been made to try to gain leverage in negotiating 2ons buyout offer. Gevertheless* thisre-uest indicates the intertwining of a partnership and its individual partners.
f. T"o ma#or things learned. 0any students will state the need for a written partnershipagreement* but there are other interesting items in the court case. Etudents are probably notaware of the five1year statute of limitations on claims. The courts decision that 2onsrelocation to Ean 4rancisco in Muly %&& was a wrongful dissociation is interesting because*as a result of a car accident* 2on was not able to fully participate in the partnership. Theissue of when the five1year statute of limitations period began is interesting because thisshows the importance of the accountant having an accurate record of a partners interest inthe partnership as of specific* important times in the history of the partnership that may
serve as records of evidence in future legal actions. A great class discussion can begenerated from this -uestion.

AnalyJingthe Etatements of hanges in $artners 2eficits in !tem ? of the %71K* it can be seen that thegeneral partner and the limited partners have a capital deficit as of 2ecember F%* >777. Thismeans that operating losses and@or capital distributions to partners between the time of formation in %&?& and 2ecember F%* >777* were substantial. !nterestingly* the limitedpartnership did not make any distributions to partners in >77>* probably because of the poor financial position of the limited partnership at that time.

e. The $lan of i-uidation was the result of the partnership not being able to meet its debtservice re-uirements on the loan for its properties. The partnership was also in default under the ground lease agreements with 0!!.

f. The li-uidation basis of accounting used by the partnership is discussed in Gote >*Eummary of Eignificant Accounting $olicies. The li-uidation basis of accounting is not HAA$because HAA$ is based on the going concern concept. The partnership adopted theli-uidation basis of accounting for periods beginning after Eeptember F7* >77F* as a result of the adoption of the plan of li-uidation. The partnership adjusted the assets to their estimatednet realiJable value and the liabilities were adjusted to their estimated settlement costs*
including estimated costs associated with carrying out the li-uidation. (Etudents should notethat 4AEB Etatement Go. %6* Accounting for osts Associated with 38it or 2isposal
Activities/ OAS 146 ASC 420P now re-uires that a liability for a cost associated with ane8it or disposal activity should be recogniJed and measured at its fair value in the period inwhich the liability is incurred* not before* such as when a plan of li-uidation is approved.

presents the liabilities owed and e8pected during li-uidation at their settlement values*such as the land purchase obligation to 0!!* and the estimated costs during the period of li-uidation. The focus is on the values of the assets and liabilities for li-uidationItherefore* partners capital accounts are not shown under the li-uidation basis.>.

Gote that the receivable from Adams is not included in the ash 2istribution $lan. The #$A %&&'does not include any offsets of receivables from partners against capital accounts. Thus* thepartnership should treat the receivable from Adams as any other partnership asset.
!f the partnership were to prepare a schedule of safe payments* it would include a provision for apossible loss on any unpaid loan receivables with partners just as with other unrealiJedpartnership assets.

This computation assumes that no other events occurred in the %71day period that changed any of the partners personalassets and personal liabilities. !n practice* the accountant must be sure that a computation of net worth is current and timely.
The table shows the effects of the transactions between the partnership and each partner. A presumption of this table isthat the personal creditors of 2an or Hail would not seek court action to block the settlement transactions with thepartnership. #pon winding up and li-uidation* the partnership does not have any priority to the partners personal assets.Thus* the personal creditors may seek to block the transactions with the partnership in order to provide more resources fromwhich they can be paid. A partner who fails to remedy his or her deficit can be sued by the other partners who had to makeadditional contributions or even by a partnership creditor if the failed partner is liable to the partnership creditor. But thoseclaims are not superior to the other claims to the partners individual assets.
When accountants provide professional services to partnerships and to its partners* the accountant should e8pect* atsome time* legal suits involving the partnership and@or individual partners. A strong and thorough understanding of the legaland accounting foundations of partnerships will be very important to that accountant.
