Question 4:

How deficiency ofcreditors is paid off?

Answer:

At the time ofdissolution of a firm, the amount received from the sale of firm'sassets are utilised to pay the creditors. If the sale receipts fallshort, then partners' private assets are used for settling the duesof the firm's creditors. Even if some portion of the amount due tocreditors is left unpaid, then there arises deficiency of creditors.There are generally two procedures to be followed to treat thedeficiency of creditors.

1. Transferringdeficiency to the Deficiency Account

2. Transferringdeficiency to the Partner's Capital Account

In the formerprocedure, a separate account is prepared for the firm's creditors.Then in order to ascertain the firm's cash balance accruing from thesale of the firm's assets and partners' private assets, Cash Accountis prepared. After ascertaining the cash availability with the firm,the creditors and the external liabilities are paid proportionately(partially). The remaining unpaid creditors or the deficiency istransferred to the Deficiency Account.

In the latterprocedure, creditors are paid by the cash available with the firmincluding the partners individual contribution. The deficiency orunpaid creditors amount is transferred to the Partner's CapitalAccount. Thus the deficiency of the creditors is borne by all thepartners in their profit sharing ratio. If any partner becomesinsolvent and is unable to bear the deficiency, then this will beregarded as a capital loss to the firm. If the partnership deed issilent about such capital loss in the facet of insolvency of apartner, then according to the Garner v/s Murray case,such capital loss need to be borne by the solvent partners in theircapital ratio.

Question 9:

All partners wish to dissolve the firm. Yastin, a partner wants that her loan of Rs 2,00,000 must be paid off before the payment of capitals to the partners. But, Amart, another partner wants that the capitals must be paid before the payment of Yastin’s loan. You are required to settle the conflict giving reasons.
