The amount recorded to accounts receivable is $1,000 because it has a net realizable value of $1,000.
To calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts, we need to determine the difference between the accounts receivable's carrying value and its net realizable value. The carrying value is $2,500.
The difference between the carrying value and the net realizable value is $1,500 ($2,500 - $1,000).
Therefore, the allowance for doubtful accounts is $1,500.
Josh & Jake decide to organize a partnership, J&J Landscaping.
