I've solved most of the problem below, however I'm confused about the kind of information they need in the second 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 (Dr) 56,110 (thats 55,310+800)
Depreciation(Dr.) 5,370
loss of realization (Cr.) 19,200

I wasn't sure what to put in here:
2. ? ?
? ?
? ?

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

(4) 800
83,610 ?

(5)39,580
? 15,850

M. Snider, Capital

Also,please let me know if the part solved is correct too. Thanks

To allocate Snider's debit balance to Mantle and Mays, you need to prepare the following entry:

Account/Description Debit Credit
M. Mantle, Capital $2,032
W. Mays, Capital $1,358
D. Snider, Capital $3,390

To record the final distribution of cash, you need to prepare the following entry:

Account/Description Debit Credit
M. Mantle, Capital $8,144
W. Mays, Capital $5,429
Cash $18,737

Please note that the amounts above are calculated based on the 5:3:2 ratio of income and loss sharing among the partners.

Regarding the part you've solved, the cash and capital account balances seem to be correctly updated based on the information provided. However, without the details of the other entries, it is difficult to determine if they are correct.

To solve the problem, you first need to understand the given information and the steps involved in the liquidation process.

1. Post to the cash and capital accounts:
The given balances for Cash and Capital accounts are:

Cash:
Bal. 27,700
(1) 55,310
(5) 39,580
(4) 800

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

M. Mays, Capital:
(2) 5,760
Bal. 21,610
(5) 39,580

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

Based on the given information, you have correctly filled in the balances for Cash and Capital accounts. The details in the brackets represent the transactions involved in the liquidation process.

2. Prepare the entry to allocate Snider's debit balance to Mantle and Mays:
To allocate Snider's debit balance to Mantle and Mays, you need to divide it according to the partners' sharing ratios. The partners share income and loss in a ratio of 5:3:2 (Mantle:Mays:Snider).

The calculation for allocation would be:
Snider's debit balance * (Mantle's ratio / Total ratio) = amount allocated to Mantle
Snider's debit balance * (Mays' ratio / Total ratio) = amount allocated to Mays

In this case:
Snider's debit balance = $3,840
Mantle's ratio = 5
Mays' ratio = 3
Total ratio = 5+3+2 = 10

Amount allocated to Mantle = $3,840 * (5/10) = $1,920
Amount allocated to Mays = $3,840 * (3/10) = $1,152

You would prepare the entry as follows:

Account/Description Debit Credit
1. M. Mantle, Capital $1,920
2. M. Mays, Capital $1,152
3. D. Snider, Capital $3,840

3. Prepare the entry to record the final distribution of cash:
To record the final distribution of cash, you need to follow the order of the partners' balances. Start with the partner who has a debit balance and allocate their share first, and then distribute the remaining cash to the partners with credit balances.

Based on the given information, the partners' balances are:

M. Mantle, Capital: $23,730
M. Mays, Capital: $15,850
D. Snider, Capital: $0

You would prepare the entry as follows:

Account/Description Debit Credit
1. M. Mantle, Capital $23,730
2. M. Mays, Capital $15,850
3. Cash $39,580

Please note that these entries only cover the specific steps mentioned. There may be additional entries required to record the other transactions involved in the liquidation process, as mentioned in the last part of the problem.
