Question 3
(a) Distinguish between 'partnership property' and 'property of partners'. Why is the distinction important?
(b) Al, Ben and Con formed a partnership three years ago. At that time, Al contributed £10,000, Ben contributed £5,000, and Con contributed £2,000. The partnership agreement stated that profits and losses were to be divided in proportion to capital contributions. The partnership was to be conducted from Al's shop, which was to remain his personal property. It was soon realised that the business was undercapitalised and to remedy the shortfall Ben made a loan to the firm of an additional £5,000. The business has not been a great success, however, and as Con has been declared bankrupt, it has been decided
to dissolve the partnership. At the time of dissolution the partnership's assets are worth £25,000: it has debts of £9,500.
Additionally, the shop is worth £50,000.
Consider the financial arrangements involved in dissolving the partnership.
