He also agrees to purchase the freehold land and premises at an agreed valuation of £120,000, and obtains a bank loan over ten years of £90,000, to help finance the purchase. The proceeds are paid into the partnership. It is agreed that any balance owing by Mars at the finalization of the dissolution transactions will be charged to the capital account of Jupiter as the two parties have agreed that the balance owing by Mars and settled by Jupiter will represent a personal loan to be repaid by Mars, over a four-year period. Saturn agrees to purchase the motor car for £2,900.
Realization expenses amount to £1,500 and, together with amounts owing to creditors, are paid out of the partnership resources. All transactions were completed on 1 July 1984.
