Answer:

The amount debited to the Accounts Receivable for the new partnership is:

= $2,434.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Accounts receivable balance = $25,581

less amount deemed completely worthless = $1,347

Balance after deduction = $2,434.

Provision for possible future uncollectible accounts = $807

b) The Accounts Receivable balance will not exclude the $807 provision for possible future uncollectible accounts.  The probability of not collecting the accounts is not established.
