Melissa Brown · Answer 1

a. 710,000

Explanation:

Current assets are calculated as follows:

Cash: $185,000

Accounts receivable, net $725,000

Recall that a loyal customer is to make semi-annually payments of $100000 into to the tune of $400,000 accounts receivable. For the year five balance sheet, the reclassification of o/s receivable will therefore be $200000

Therefore Total current assets = $185,000 + $725,000 - $200000 = $710,000

In JB Company's December 31, year five Balance Sheet $710,000 should be reported as current assets.
