Given the information for the four questions below: Following the high demand of coal from the European market brought about by the Ukraine/Russia conflict, Zola and Sell as partners in a coal company trading as Afri Mining upscaled their operations to take advantage of the high coal prices. They share profits and losses in the ratio of 3:1 respectively. Given the exponential growth in the business, they decided to liquidate the partnership and move the operations into a private company that is already exporting in the sector. The arrangement is such that the private company would acquire the assets of the partnership. They planned to expedite the process and liquidate the partnership simultaneously on 1 June 2022.

Before the liquidation entries were made, the trial balance of the partnership was prepared as follows:
