Partnership Accounting

Part I

Partners A and B have formed a new partnership.  A contributes $50,000 in cash and $20,000 in merchandise inventory, but $3000 is still owed to a creditor on account.  B contributes a building that cost $150,000, but has been depreciated for $40,000, land worth $25,000, and accounts receivable with a book value of $60,000.  The building has a mortgage owed on it of $45,000.  The partners agree to accept all liabilities on the assets and that $3000 of Partner B’s accounts receivable is worthless and $5000 appears doubtful.  They also agree the building is really worth $250,000 because of the real estate market.
