Sand, Mell, and Rand are partners who share incomes and losses in a 1:4:5 ratio. After lengthy disagreements among the partners and several unprofitable periods, the partners decided to liquidate the partnership. Before the liquidation, the partnership balance sheet showed the following:
• Cash $10,000
• Total "other assets," $106,000
• Total liabilities, $88,000
• Sand, Capital, $1,200
• Mell, Capital, $11,700
• Rand, Capital, $15,100
The "other assets" were sold for $ 85,000. Proceeds from the sale of other assets were used to payoff existing liabilities.
Determine the following:
a. The gain (or loss) realized on the sale of the assets and recording of liabilities' payment.
b. The balances in the partners' capital accounts after the distribution of this gain or loss to the capital accounts.
c. Assume that if any capital deficits exist, they are not made up and the deficient partner pays down his or her deficit to zero. How much cash will each of the partners receive in the final liquidation?
d. Provide an explanation between 200 and 300 words in length of the requirements for liquidating the partnership. What documents will be needed? How will the money be distributed? What other options might there be in place of liquidation?

Monopolists marginal cost of supplying good to consumers
: A monopolist’s marginal cost of supplying a good to consumers is ˜c = c + t (where t is a unit commodity tax). Let pm(˜c) denote the corresponding monopoly price. Sumner (1981) uses an ingenious approach to estimate the elasticity of demand—and thus ..

Solve algebraically for the steady state capital stock
: Suppose total National Savings, St , is St= sYt - hKt . The extra term –hKt reflects the idea that when wealth (as measured by the capital stock) is higher, savings is lower, (i.e., wealthier people have less need to save for the future). Assume that..
