Trading under the name Lehumo Bricks, Refentse and Boitshepo are partners in this brick manufacturing company. Over the years, Lehumo Bricks has established itself as a reputable supplier of high$-$quality bricks used in various construction projects, from residential homes to large commercial buildings. The business has been profitable, with Refentse and Boitshepo sharing profits and losses equally, reflecting their initial capital investments and contributions to the partnership.

However, after years of operating in the competitive construction materials industry, the partners decided to liquidate the business. Their decision was influenced by a combination of factors, including changes in market demand, increasing production costs, and their desire to pursue other ventures.

Having carefully evaluated offers for key assets, particularly the land, the building, manufacturing equipment and inventory on hand, they decided to accept the most favourable ones for the sale of the land, inventory and equipment. With this decision in place, they planned to initiate the simultaneous liquidation of the partnership on $1$ June $2024.$

Before any liquidation entries were recorded, they prepared a final trial balance to summarise the financial position of the business.
