Study Notes
Partnership Liquidation
-
Lump-Sum Liquidation:
- Pay loans to partners before distributing remaining cash to capital accounts.
- Remaining cash is distributed based on partners' capital balances after settling external creditors and liquidation expenses.
-
Piecemeal Liquidation:
- Utilize Cash Priority Program (CPP) or Safe Payment Schedule (SPS) to determine pay order without loan priority initially.
- Payments are applied in order: first to partners' loans, then to their capital accounts.
-
Methods for Cash Distribution:
- Cash Priority Program (CPP): Establishes a distribution hierarchy among partners.
- Safe Payment Schedule (SPS): Calculates safe cash distributions during liquidation.
- Both approaches help ensure equity in payment without overpayment risk.
-
Worst Case Scenarios (WCS):
- WCS #1: Considers maximum losses from unsold non-cash assets.
- WCS #2: Assumes remaining partners absorb deficiencies if partners are deemed insolvent.
- Cash distributions are based on predetermined priority post-assessment of losses.
Corporate Liquidation
-
Partially Secured Liabilities (PSL):
- Total claim amount includes both secured and unsecured portions during calculations.
-
Unsecured Liabilities (USL):
- Do not include unsecured part of PSL until estimating recovery percentages.
-
Statements to Review:
- Statement of Affairs, Statement of Realization and Liquidation, Statement of Estate Deficit, Statement of Receipts/Disbursements, and Balance Sheet.
- Relationships among these statements are crucial to understanding financial standing during liquidation.
Long-Term Construction Contracts
-
Revenue Recognition:
- Percentage of Completion (POC) Method: Recognizes income progressively based on the percentage of completion unless the outcome cannot be reliably estimated.
- Cost Recovery Method: Recognizes revenue only up to costs incurred until reliable estimates can be made.
-
Total Loss Recognition:
- Under POC method, total losses are recognized immediately if overall losses are expected.
-
Reconciling Revenue, Cost, and Gross Profit:
- Revenue to Date: Calculated using contract price multiplied by POC to date.
- Total Costs: Based on estimated costs multiplied by POC to date.
- Gross Profit computation involves subtracting costs from revenue.
-
Calculating Current Year Revenues and Costs:
- Revenue this year is the difference between current revenue to date and prior year revenue.
- Costs reflect total estimated costs multiplied by POC, differentiating between current year and prior years.
