Answer:
1. Total assets increased by $ 20,100
Explanation:
We need to determine the effect of each transaction on the total assets of Bledsoe Company.
Effect on Total Assets
Issuance of Common stock for Cash + $ 17,000
Revenues on account means increase in Receivables + $ 8,500
Collections of receivables + 0
Payments for Operating Expenses - $ 5,400
Net increase in Total assets + $ 20,100
The collection of receivables results in an increase in cash and a decrease in receivables, so no effect on total receivables
