On March 31, 2010, the partnership that had been organized to operate the Lone Pine Café was dissolved under unusual circumstances, and in connection with its dissolution, preparation of a balance sheet became necessary.
The partnership was formed by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Antoine and Mrs. Sandra Landers, who had become acquainted while working in a Portland, Oregon, restaurant. On November 1, 2009, each of the three partners contributed $16,000 cash to the partnership and agreed to share in the profits proportionally to their contributed capital (i.e, one-third each). The Antoines’ contribution represented practically all of their saving. Mrs. Landers’ payment was the proceeds of her late husband’s insurance policy.
On that day also the partnership signed a one-year lease to the Lone Pine Café, located in a nearby recreational area. The monthly rent on the café was $1,500. This facility attracted the partners in part because there were living accommodations on the floor above the restaurant. One room was occupied by the Antoines and another by Mrs. Landers.
CASE 2-3
The partners borrowed $21,000 from a local bank and used this plus $35,000 of partnership funds to buy out the previous operator of the café. Of this amount, $53,200 was for equipment and $2,800 was for the food and beverages then on hand. The partnership paid $1,428 for local operating licenses, good for one year beginning November 1, and paid $1,400 for a new cash register. The remainder of the $69,000 was deposited in a checking account.
Shortly after November 1, the partners opened the restaurant. Mr. Antoine was the cook, and Mrs. Antoine and Mrs. Landers waited on customers. Mrs. Antoine also ordered the food, beverages, and supplies, operated the cash register, and was responsible for the checking account.
The restaurant operated throughout the winter season of 2009-2010. It was not very successful. On the morning of March 31, 2010, Mrs. Antoine discovered that Mr. Antoine and Mrs. Landers had disappeared. Mrs. Landers had taken all her possessions, but Mr. Antoine had left behind most of his clothing, presumably because he could not remove it without warning Mrs. Antoine. The new cash register and its contents were also missing. No other partnership assets were missing. Mrs. Antoine concluded that the partnership was dissolved. (The court subsequently affirmed that the partnership was dissolved as of March 30.)
CASE 2-3
Mrs. Antoine decided to continue operating the Lone Pine Café. She realized that an accounting would have to be made as of March 30 and called in Donald Simpson, an acquaintance who was knowledgeable about accounting.
In response to Mr. Simpson’s questions, Mrs. Antoine said that the cash register had contained $311 and that the checking account balance was $1,030. Ski instructors who were permitted to charge their meals had run up accounts totaling $870. (These accounts subsequently were paid in full.) The Lone Pine Café owed suppliers amounts totaling $1,583. Mr. Simpson estimated that depreciation on the assets amounted to $2,445. Food and beverages on hand were estimated to be worth $2,430. During the period of its operation, the partners drew salaries at agreed-upon amounts, and these payments were up to date. The clothing that Mr. Antoine left behind was estimated to be worth $750. The partnership had also repaid $2,100 of the bank loan.
Mr. Simpson explained that in order to account for the partners’ equity, he would prepare a balance sheet. He would list the items that the partnership owned as of March 30, subtract the amounts that it owned as of March 30, subtract the amounts that it owed to out-side parties, and the balance would be the equity of the three partners. Each partner would be entitled to one-third of this amount.
CASE 2-3
Questions 1:
Prepare a Statement of Financial Position for
the Lone Pine Café as of November 2, 2009.
CASE 2-3
INFORMATIONS GIVEN:
Transactions in Nov 1, 2009
Initial Partner’s Contribution $ 48,000 consists of:
- Mr. Antoine = $ 16,000 - Mrs. Antoine = $ 16,000 - Mrs. Landers = $ 16,000 Transactions in Nov 2, 2009 Monthly Rental = $ 1,500 Bank Loan = $ 21,000 Second Equipment s = $ 53, 200 Foods & Beverages = $ 2,800 Local Operating License (for 1 year) = $ 1,428 New Cash Register = $ 1,400
The remainder of total money will be deposited in checking account
Mr. Antoine & Mrs. Landers were disappeared on the morning of March 31, 2010. Business was not successful.
The Court affirmed the partnership was dissolved as of March 30, 2010
CASE 2-3
Checking Account Balance calculation:
= Total Incoming Cash – Total Outgoing Cash
= (Partner’s Capital + Bank Loan) – (Equipment + Foods & Beverages + Licenses + Cash Register) = ( $ 48,000 + $ 21,000) – ($ 53,200 + $ 2,800 + $ 1,428 + $ 1,400)
= ( $69,000) – ($ 58,828) = $ 10,172
Equipment:
= Café Equiment + New Cash Register = $ 53,200 + $ 1,400
= $ 54,600

Questions 3:
Disregarding the marital complications, do you
suppose that the partners would have been able
to receive their proportional share of the equity
determined in Question 2 if the partnership was
dissolved on March 30, 2010? Why?
CASE 2-3
If the Partnership was dissolved on March 30, 2010
The Partners would not been able to receive their proportional share
of the equity shown in the Statement of Financial Position, because:
- Their assets will not bring enough cash to pay the liabilities and
Partners. Below is liquidation value estimation for Lone Pine Café on
forced sale.

The Lone Pine Café has obligation to precede payment to
secured creditor (in this case is Bank), then payment to
unsecured creditor (in this case is Supplier).
Payment to Partners/Shareholders will be placed in
the final sequence therefore we suppose that it is very
unlikely the Partners
would have been able to receive
their proportional share of the equity ($ 12,382 each)
as determined in Statement of Financial
Position as of March 30, 2010

In addition to preparing the balance sheet described in Lone Pine Café (A), Mr. Simpson, the accountant, agreed to prepare an income statement. He said that such a financial statement would show Mrs. Antoine how profitable operations had been, and thus help her to judge whether it was worthwhile to continue operating the restaurant.

Monthly payments to partners* $ 23,150
Wages to part-time employees 5,480

Questions 2:
What does this Income Statement tell Mrs.
Antoine ?
CASE 3-2
1st Accounting Method: Salary to Partners -> Income Statement
The income statement tells Mrs. Antoine that the partnership has suffered a $10,854 loss of operation. It would appear that Lone Pine Café cannot support the three partners,
and Mrs. Antoine income is only from monthly salary.
2nd Accounting Method: Salary to Partners -> Statement of Changes in Equity
In assessing the performance of a partnership, we need to pay attention to the Income Statement and Statement of Changes in Equity. A profitable income statement does not mean it can create a leverage of capital for all partners, hence the amount of the salary as well as the allocated drawing for the period of the time needs to be put on consideration as well.
At the end, this method also tells Mrs. Antoine that the partnership has suffered a $10,854 loss.
