(b)In paying off rateably any loans made through partners to the firm - such loans being distinguished from capital. And one is

(c)In paying rateably to the partners the amounts because to them in respect of capital. And one is

(d)Any surplus remains it is for be shared among the partners into the proportion in that they share profits by Section 48. So it.
