After all assets are sold and liabilities are paid, there is $77,000 in cash to be distributed. Gage is unable to pay the deficiency. What amount of cash will Gage receive upon liquidation

b. Debit Henry, Capital $42,500; debit Luther, Capital $34,500; credit Cash $77,000. Debit Henry, Capital $45,000; debit Luther, Capital $37,000; credit Gage, Capital $5,000; credit Cash $77,000.

Explanation:

The deficiency will apportioned to Henry and Luther equally.

Henry capital becomes = 45,000 - 2,500 = $42,500

Luther capital becomes = 37,000 - 2,500 = $34,500

The $77,000 will then be debited to their capital accounts to recognize the balance left in their accounts:

= 42,500 + 34,500

= $77,000

Credit Gage for $5,000 to recognize that Henry and Luther paid off the deficiency.
