c. The income- and loss-sharing ratio is only used to distribute the gain or loss on the realization of asset sales. It is not used for the final distribution. The final distribution is based upon the credit balances in the member equity accounts after all gains and losses on realization have been divided and any partner deficiencies have been paid or allocated.
