Answer:
$607,000
Explanation:
False Value Hardware began 2016 with a credit balance of $32,000 in the allowance for sales returns account.
Sales and cash collections from customers during the year were $650,000 and $610,000, respectively.
False Value estimates that 6% of all sales will be returned.
During 2016, customers returned merchandise for credit of $28,000 to their accounts.
False Value's 2016 income statement would report net sales of:
The closing balance in the allowance for sales returns account will be: 32,000 opening balance + 6% 0f 650,000 - sales returns within the year of 28,000 = $43,000
Hence Net Sales will be 650,000 - 43,000 = $607,000
