The following transactions occur during liquidation: Noncash assets with a book value of $580,000 are sold for $480,000 in cash.
A creditor reduces his claim against the partnership from $160,000 to $130,000, and this amount is paid in cash.
The remaining noncash assets are sold for $130,000 in cash.
The remaining liabilities of $334,000 are paid in full.
