Actually I've solved most of the problem, however I'm confused about the kind of information they need in this part:
Prepare the entry to allocate Snider's debit balance to Mantle and Mays.
Prepare the entry to record the final distribution of cash.
Account/Description Debit Credit
1. I put here

Cash 56,110 (thats
55,310+800)
Depreciation 5,370
loss of realization 19,200

2. ? ?
? ?
? ?

And in the first part where it says: Post to the cash and capital accounts:
cash
Bal.27,700 (3)44,230
(1)55,310 (5)39,580

(4) 800
83,610 ?

M. Mantle, Capital
(2)9,600 Bal. 33,300
(5)39,580
? 23,730

M. Mays, Capital
(2)5,760 Bal. 21,610
(5)39,580
? 15,850

M. Snider, Capital
(2)3,840 Bal. 3,840
(4) 800
? 0
