murry 7000 (34%)2380 = 4620
ann 10000 (33%)3300 = 6700
hippo 8000 (33%)2640 = 5360
all capital = 25000 * each % of partners capital for maximum total loss

it's kind of easy. First make the columns per title accounts and put in their balances. (assets are cash and non cash, liabilities in a single column and the 3 capitals in the equity column. Second, deduct the 39,000 non cash assets and put them into cash.
Deduct the liability and cash of 22,000 since you have to pay your creditors.
Now compute all the remaining balances. The assets=liabilities+equity should remain true in the process of liquidation.
