Answer 1

Nate's capital will be credited with $56500

Note; the correct answer is not in the options provided

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Account receivable = $60700

Allowance for doubtful account = $9400

Cash flow = $5200

using the formula;

Net accounts receivable =Account receivable- Allowance for

doubtful account

Substituting, we have

Net accounts receivable = $60700-$9400

= $51300

The formula for calculating total initial contribution is given as;

Total initial contribution = Cash flow + net account receivable

Substituting into the formula, we have

Total initial contribution = $5200 + $51300

=$56500

Therefore, Nate's capital will be credited with $56500
