C, D, A, E, B

Correct Answer:

C, D, A, B, E

Explanation:

The amount realized from assets along with contribution from partners, if required, shall be utilized first to pay off the outside liabilities of the firm such as creditors, loans, bank overdraft, bill payables, etc. (it may be noted that secured loans have precedence over the unsecured loans); the balance should be applied to repay loans made by the partners to the firm. (in case the balance amount is not adequate enough to pay off such loans and advances, they are to be paid proportionately). The amount left thereafter is utilized in settlement of capital account balances. Then the surplus if any is divided among partners in their profit sharing ratio.
