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
