Question

You are compiling Bertram Boat’s balance sheet. According to your calculations, Bertram has current assets of $85,000 and property, plant, and equipment of $235,000. Your supervisor reminds you, however, that your figures fail to account for the fact that Bertram anticipates it will collect only $48,000 of its $50,000 accounts receivable in cash. With this information in mind, what are Bertram’s total assets?

Answer 1

Answer:

$318,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total assets is shown below:

= Current assets +  property, plant, and equipment - difference in amount

= $85,000 + $235,000 - $2,000

= $318,000

The difference of amount is

= Account receivable - collected amount

= $50,000 - $48,000

= $2,000

Since the current asset is already given so we considered the difference in amount to find out the total asset.
