c. The building is immediately sold for $71,000 to give total cash of $112,000. The liabilities are then paid, leaving a cash balance of $81,000. This cash is to be distributed to the partners. How much of this money will each partner receive if profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 1:3:3:3 basis, respectively? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
d. Assume that profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 1:3:4:2 basis, respectively. How much money must the firm receive from selling the land and building to ensure that Carvil receives a portion? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
