Considering the financial situation of FAST Motorparts Company, how will the liabilities be settled?

In partnership law, the distribution of remaining assets after settling liabilities depends significantly on the terms of the partnership agreement and the nature of the partnership. In the scenario described, if Federico receives nothing while the other partners receive their respective amounts, it suggests that there has been a specific arrangement or circumstances leading to this distribution.

This scenario is consistent with the principle that partners in a partnership share profits and losses as outlined in their partnership agreement. When the partnership incurs liabilities, those must be settled before any distribution of assets occurs. If the liabilities exceed the partnership's assets, or if one partner has a lower claim due to prior withdrawals or specific agreements regarding the division of debts and profits, it can result in one partner, in this case, Federico, receiving nothing after liabilities are settled.

This distribution can also indicate that other partners may have contributed more capital or guarantees against debts, thereby allowing them to recoup their investments or awards after liabilities are accounted for. The overall distribution depends on the agreement among partners or the default provisions in partnership law if no specific agreement is in place.

The other options imply an equal or predetermined allocation that does not take into account the specifics of partnership liabilities and individual partner agreements, which is why they do not apply in this context.
