the partners at the end of each month. A summary of liquidation transactions during March follows:
1. $54,300 was collected on the accounts receivable; the balance was deemed to be uncollectible.
2. $125,600 was received for the entire inventory.
3. $ 4,700 in liquidation expenses were paid.
4. $108,100 was paid to outside creditors, after receiving a $6,300 credit memo from a creditor.
5. Cash of $7,800 was retained at the end of the month to cover unrecorded liabilities and anticipated
expenses. The safe payment of cash was distributed to the partners.
