Answer 1

Answer:

Bill's capital will be debited for $47,500

Charlie's capital will be debited for $9,500

Net loss = $76,000

The loss will be distributed according to their sharing ratio

Total of Ratios = 2 + 5 + 1 = 8

Adams's Share = 76,000 x 2 / 8 = $19,000

Bill's Share = 76,000 x 5 / 8 = $47,500

Charlie's Share = 76,000 x 1 / 8 = $9,500
