Lock, Stock and Barrel have been in partnership as builders and contractors for many years. Owing to adverse trading conditions it has been decided to dissolve the partnership. Profits are shared Lock 40 per cent, Stock 30 per cent, Barrel 30 per cent. The partnership deed also provides that in the event of a partner being unable to pay off a debit balance the remaining partners will treat this as a trading loss. The latest partnership statement of financial position was as follows:

During the six months from the date of the latest statement of financial position to the date of dissolution the following transactions have taken place;

All deposits and progress payments have been used for completed transactions.
Depreciation is normally provided each year at £600 on the freehold yard and buildings, at 10 per cent on cost for plant and equipment and 25 per cent on cost for motor vehicles.
The partners decide to dissolve the partnership on 1 February 2017 and wish to take out the maximum cash possible, as items are sold. At this date there are no houses in course of construction and one-third of the land had been used for building. It is agreed that Barrel is insolvent and cannot bring any money into the partnership. The partners take over the partnership cars at an agreed figure of £2,000 each. All other vehicles were sold on 28 February 2017 for £6,200. At the same date the inventory of materials was sold for £7,000, and the sale of the land realized £72,500. On 30 April 2017 the accounts receivable were paid in full and all the plant and equipment was sold for £50,000.
The freehold yard and buildings realized £100,000 on 1 June 2017, on which date all remaining cash was distributed. There are no costs of realization or distribution.
