Several years ago, Ann Dennis, Jill Edwards, Lee Lacy, and Sarah Ingram formed a partnership to operate the Deli Sisters Cafe. Rerouting of bus lines caused declines in patronage to the extent that the partners have agreed to dissolve the partnership and liquidate the assets. The November 2, 2017, balance sheet of the Deli Sisters Cafe and other data appear below. The partnership agreement did not specify how profits and losses were to be shared.
