Vanessa Kaiser and Mariah Newman decide to form a partnership by combining the assets of their separate businesses. Kaiser contributes the following assets to the partnership: cash, $24,560; accounts receivable with a face amount of $161,390 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,490; merchandise inventory with a cost of $84,060; and equipment with a cost of $137,580 and accumulated depreciation of $45,680.
The partners agree that $6,080 of the accounts receivable are completely worthless and are not to be accepted by the partnership, that $4,680 is a reasonable allowance for the uncollectibility of the remaining accounts, that the merchandise inventory is to be recorded at the current market price of $99,950, and that the equipment is to be valued at $89,040.
