Introduction A partnership may dissolve due to disagreement
among the partners, poor performance of the firm or being taken over by another business.
The assets of the partnership will be realized to pay off the liabilities.
The sales proceeds should be applied in the following order, as required by the Hong Kong Ordinance: Pay off creditors first, then the partners’ advances, and Finally the partners’ capital
3
Realization Account
In the partnership dissolution, an account named as ‘Realization Account’ will be opened to compute the profit or loss from realization which should be shared among the partners according to the profit or loss sharing ratio
4
Nature of partnership dissolution
Dissolution where the assets are sold separately
Dissolution where partnership is sold as a whole
6
Procedures of Dissolution
1. All assets will be sold to other persons or taken over by partners
2. Settle the liabilities of the partnership to outsider or partners
3. Transfer any ‘profit or loss on realization’ to each partner’s capital accounts in profit/loss sharing ratio
4. Merge the balances in the partners’ current accounts to their capital accounts
7
5. Any credit balance in each partner’s capital account represents the amount which can be withdrawn from the partnership to each partner; any debit balance in a partner’s capital account represents additional cash to be injected by that partners

Cash Distribution Among Partners
With the application of the Garner vs. Murray rule
When cash is to be distributed as soon as possible ( Piecemeal realization)
36
With the application of Garner vs. Murray rule Any CREDIT balance in each partner’s capital
account represents the amount which can be withdrawn from the partnership to each partner
Any DEBIT balance in a partner’s capital account represents additional cash to be injected by that partner. If he is insolvency to repay the amount, the solvency partners will be shared the amount in: Profit & loss sharing ratio Any agreed ratio given in the examination question GARNER vs. MURRAY rule may be applied
38
Garner vs. Murray rule Under the rule, a partner is required to
contribute cash to eliminate the debit balance in his capital account
In the court case of Garner vs. Murray (1904), it was held that subject to any agreement to the contrary, such a debit balance deficiency was to be shared by the other partner not in their profit and loss sharing ratio but “ the ratio of their last agreed capitals”
39
If one partner is insolvent, his capital deficiency will be shared by other partners according to the ‘last agreed capital ratio’ (the ratio of the balances in the capital accounts before the dissolution, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary
41
Piecemeal realization
Cash is distributed as it becomes available, instead of waiting for all the assets to be realized first
Assets are sold piecemeal, and then outstanding debts are paid and the remaining cash is finally distributed to the partners as soon as possible
This situation occurs because some assets can be sold quickly, and some assets take longer time to be sold (i.e. less liquid)
42
Assumed Loss/Notional Loss Method This is possible loss by assuming that the
remaining assets do not have any scrap value
Any unsold assets will be assumed loss in each distribution
43
Steps on Piecemeal Dissolution
1. Find out the maximum possible loss Maximum possible loss
= NBV of assets to be realized - Total proceeds form disposal
OR Maximum possible loss
= Total capital balances - Total cash to be distributed to partners( i.e. cash available)
44
2. The maximum possible loss is shared by the partners according to the profit-sharing ratio
3. Apply the Garner vs. Murray rule if there is any capital deficiency
4. Distribute any available cash to the partners according to their remaining capital balances
5. Repeat the process until all assets have been realized
46

•Very often no cash is distributed to partners at first or second month since outstanding debts must be repaid first and then the remaining cash can then be distributed to partners.
•Even though the questions have not mentioned to repay outstanding debts, you should make sure to keep some cash to prepare to repay debts and could not be distributed it to partners
