Answer 1

Answer:

The net realizable value of Accounts Receivable = 1,985,538

Explanation:

The journal​ entry will be: Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit - Decreased) 6,000 and Accounts Receivable (Credit - Decreased) 6,000.

After the journal​ entry the credit balance in the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts will be: 2,005,000 - 6000 = 1,999,000, and the debit balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts will be: 19,462 - 6,000 = 13,462.

Then net realizable value of Accounts Receivable will be: 1,999,000 - 13,462 = 1,985,538.
