Problem - After working for the Kitchen remodeling business for several years, Terry and Phyllis decided to go into business for themselves and formed the Kitchens Just for You partnership. Three years ago, they admitted Connie as a partner and recognized goodwill at that time because of her good client list for planned kitchen makeovers. However, they were not able to gain a sufficient market for new customers and on September 1, 20X9, they agreed to dissolve and liquidate the business. They decided on an installment liquidation to complete the projects already initiated. The balance sheet, with profit and loss-sharing percentages at the beginning of liquidation, is as follows:

KITCHENS JUST FOR YOU

Balance Sheet

September 1, 20X9   Assets   Liabilities and Equities   Cash $ 26,000     Accounts Payable $ 44,000     Receivables   52,000     Connie, Loan   18,000     Terry, Loan   10,000     Terry, Capital (30%)   12,500     Inventory   48,000     Phyllis, Capital (60%)   35,000     Goodwill   32,000     Connie, Capital (10%)   58,500          Total Assets $ 168,000     Total Liabilities and Equities $ 168,000      

Connie's loan was for working capital; the loan to Terry was for his unexpected personal medical bills.         During September 20X9, the first month of liquidation, the partnership collected $36,000 in receivables and decided to write off $6,000 of the remaining receivables. Sales of one-half of the book value of the inventory realized a loss of $6,000. The partners estimate that the costs of liquidating the business such as newspaper ads, signs, etc., are expected to be $8,000 for the remainder of the liquidation process.

Required: Compose a schedule of safe payments to partners as of September 30, 20X9, to show how the available cash should be distributed to the partners.
