What alternatives are available to Wilkinson and Walker to deal with this situation, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? ?Discussion QuestionWHAT HAPPENS IF A PARTNER BECOMES INSOLVENT?In 2010, three dentists-Ben Rogers, Judy Wilkinson, and Henry Walker-formed a partnership to open a practice inToledo, Ohio. The partnership's primary purpose was to reduce expenses by sharing building and equipment costs,supplies, and the services of a clerical staff. Each contributed $70,000 in cash and, with the help of a bank loan,constructed a building and acquired furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Because the partners maintained their ownseparate clients, annual net income has been allocated as follows: Each partner receives the specific amount ofrevenues that he or she generated during the period less one-third of all expenses. From the beginning, the partnersdid not anticipate expansion of the practice; consequently, they could withdraw cash each year up to 90 percent of theirshare of income for the period.The partnership had been profitable for a number of years. Over the years, Rogers has used much of his income tospeculate in real estate in the Toledo area. By 2020 he was spending less time with the dental practice so that he couldconcentrate on his investments. Unfortunately, a number of these real estate deals proved to be bad decisions, and heincurred significant losses. On November 8, 2020, while Rogers was out of town, his personal creditors filed a $97,000claim against the partnership's assets. Unbeknownst to Wilkinson and Walker, Rogers had become personally insolvent.Wilkinson and Walker hurriedly met to discuss the problem because Rogers could not be located. Rogers's capitalaccount was currently at $105,000, but the partnership had only $27,000 in cash and liquid assets. The partners knewthat Rogers's dental equipment had been used for many years and could be sold for relatively little. In contrast, thebuilding had appreciated in value, and Rogers's creditors' claims could be satisfied by selling the property. However,this action would have a tremendously adverse impact on the dental practice of the remaining two partners.What alternatives are available to Wilkinson and Walker to deal with this situation, and what are the advantages anddisadvantages of each?
