PARTNERSHIP –

DISSOLUTION / LIQUIDATION Dissolution / liquidation of partnership

Liquidation of partnership means the termination of partnership. It means that the firm will not operate further.

In liquidation process, all the assets (inventory and fixed assets) are sold for cash either more than their book value or less than their book value.

The profit or loss arises, if any, from the sale of assets are recorded in the realization account.

Then accounts receivable are collected from customer (equal to book value or less than value) and payments are paid to the suppliers.

Again the differences, if any, are recorded in the realization account. Goodwill of the firm are closed to the partners; account by debiting partners’ account

and credit the goodwill account. Now the realization (profit or loss) is transferred to the partners’ capital account. If partners’ capital account show negative balance after the distribution of realization, it

is necessary to know that the partner is solvent or insolvent. If the partner is solvent, he/she can contribute cash from his private sources. But if the partner is insolvent, he/she cannot contribute cash and his/her loss will have

to be distributed among the other partners.

Steps of liquidation

Step # 1: Sale of all assets except cash.

Step # 2: Payment of liabilities, (if possible).

Step # 3: Distribution of gain or loss.

Step # 4: Check the negative capital balances of partners, (if any). Also check solvent or insolvent partner.

Step # 5: Distribution of remaining cash.
