Answer 1

Answer:

Accounts receivable for 2019 = $590,000

Accounts receivable for 2018 = $570,000

Explanation:

The computation of accounts receivable for both years is shown below:-

                                2019                      2018

Sales                               $7,906,000        $6,726,000

Accounts receivable

Beginning balance          $600,000            $540,000

Ending balance                $580,000             $600,000

Accounts receivable       $590,000             $570,000

Working note:-

Average Accounts receivable for 2019 = ($600,000 + $580,000) ÷ 2

= $590,000

Average Accounts receivable for 2018 =  ($540,000 + $600,000) ÷ 2

= $570,000
