In Jesse and Tim Partnership Books:

Jesse’s investment:

Accounts receivable $45000, of which $3500 is to be immediately written off due to non-collectability and another $2100 must be provided by way of an allowance for uncollectibles.

Value of A/R = $45000 - $3500 = $41500

Equipment cost: $180000

Accumulated depreciation: $99000

Written down value: $180000 - $99000 = $81000

A decrease in value of the equipment is to be accounted for worth $12800 in order to make it to $68200

Tim’s Investment:

Cash $22000

Inventory having a book value of $45500 is to be raised to $49000 for incorporation into the books.
