Answer:

Alpha and Beta

The amount of loss on realization that should be allocated to Alpha is:

$14,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                Alpha    Beta         Total

Sharing ratio =                           1          :   2

Capital balances               $34,200   $88,500   $122,700

Cash balance =                                                     $80,700

Loss on realization = $42,000 ($122,700 - 80,700)

Loss sharing:

Alpha = $42,000 * 1/3 =  ($14,000)

Beta = $42,000 * 2/3 =                    ($28,000)

Cash refund                    $20,200   $60,500    ($80,700)

b) After sharing the loss (reduction in their capital balances against the available cash) in their profit and loss sharing ratios, their capital balances will be reduced by their respective amounts of loss.  Therefore, the cash each partner is entitled to will become equal to the cash available, as depicted above.
