The creditors with priority is determined in the equity section.
The estimated amount available to unsecured creditors is determined by adding the free assets, interest on notes payable and interest on mortgage.
The credit balance of accounts payable should be recorded under free asset section and should be recorded after excluding the payroll taxes paid and credit balance of accounts receivable. The accounts payable, therefore, shall amount to $15,000
