Answer 1

Answer:

Net accounts receivable Before $18,600 and  After $18,600

Explanation:

solution

we know that here

net accounts receivable before write-off  

Accounts Receivable = $19,600  

and Allowance for doubtful debt = $1,000

so Net accounts receivable =  $19,600 - $1,000 =  $18,600

so

Journal Entry for write off is here    

Allowance for doubtful Accounts = $500

Accounts Receivable = $500

and

Net accounts receivable after write off is    

Accounts Receivable= $19,100

and

Allowance for doubtful debt= $500  

so Net accounts receivable = $19,100 - $500

Net accounts receivable = 8,600

so Net accounts receivable Before $18,600 and  After $18,600
