Martin Manera is one of three partners who own and operate TaftWorld, a global import and export business. Martin is the partner in charge of recording partnership transactions in the accounts. One day while driving to work, Martin’s car broke down. Upon inspection, the mechanic discovered the engine had to be replaced at a cost of $5,000. Martin does not have enough money in his bank account and his credit cards are at their limits. He has to have this car to come to work, and he only uses his car for this purpose.

- WHAT HAPPENS IF A PARTNER BECOMES INSOLVENT? In 2010, three dentists-Ben Rogers, Judy Wilkinson, and Henry Walker-formed a partnership to open a practice in Toledo, Ohio. The partnership's primary purpose was to reduce expenses by sharing building and equipment costs, supplies, and the services of a clerical staff. Each contributed $70,000 in cash and, with the help of a bank loan, constructed a building and acquired furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Because the partners maintained their own separate clients, annual net income has been allocated as follows: Each partner receives the specific amount of revenues that he or she generated during the period less one-third of all expenses. From the beginning, the partners did not anticipate expansion of the practice; consequently, they could withdraw cash each year up to 90 percent of their share of income for the period. The partnership had been profitable for a number of years. Over the years, Rogers has used much of his income to…arrow_forwardWHAT HAPPENS IF A PARTNER BECOMES INSOLVENT?
