    Following the guidelines, no one will solve the problem for you. However, as a guidance, please refer to the partnership agreement as regards the reported insolvency of one of the partners.

    It is not known which country is represented by the question. In India and Pakistan, there is a specific case law called Garner v. Murray. According to this judgment, the deficit of an insolvent partners is assumed by the solvent partners according the ratio of their respective capital accounts, before adjusting any realization gains or losses.

    In the United States, it appears that this deficit is shared by the solvent partners in their respective profit sharing ratio.
