Answer 1

Answer: $30,923

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that as part of an initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $32,290 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship. Out of the amount, $1,367 is deemed completely worthless and for the remaining accounts, the partnership will establish a provision for possible future uncollectible accounts of $848.

The amount debited to accounts Receivable for the new partnership will be the difference between the account receivable balance and the amount that was deemed worthless. This will be:

= $32,290 - $1,367

= $30,923

Therefore, the amount debited to Accounts Receivable for the new partnership will be $30,923
