Predistribution plan for the partnership:

Predistribution plan
   
Available CashAmountReceipient
First $   90,000The firm pays all its liabilities and liquidation expenses of $90,000
Next $   33,500The firm pays $33,500 to person N
Next $   43,500The firm pays $43,500 distributed between person N and person R in the ratio of 1:2
Next $ 150,000The firm pays $150,000 distributed between person W, person N and person R in the ratio of 3:1:2
Further cash balances The firm pays all further cash balances distributed between person W, person N, person R and person G in the ratio of 3:1:2:4

Working note:

Calculate maximum allocated loss for all the partners:

MaximumallocatedlossforpersonW=$120,00030%=$120,000×10030=$12,000,00030=$400,000

Now, calculate for other partners:

MaximumallocatedlossforpersonN=$88,00010%=$88,000×10010=$8,800,00010=$880,000

Now, calculate for other partners:

MaximumallocatedlossforpersonR=$109,00020%=$109,000×10020=$10,900,00020=$545,000

Now, calculate for other partners:

MaximumallocatedlossforpersonG=$60,00040%=$60,000×10040=$6,000,00040=$150,000

Person G has least maximum allocated loss and hence is considered first.

Calculate the loss share of all the partners:

LosssharetopersonW=$150,000×30%=$45,000LosssharetopersonN=$150,000×10%=$15,000

Now, calculate loss share for other partners:

LossshareforpersonR=$150,000×20%=$30,000LossshareforpersonG=$150,000×40%=$60,000

Calculate the ending capital balances of partners:
