Answer 1

Answer:

Net Accounts receivable = $24900

so correct option is c) $24,900

Explanation:

given data

Accounts Receivable balance = $28,100

Doubtful Accounts = $3,200

uncollectible account = $940

to find out

net realizable value of accounts receivable immediately

solution

we get here first Accounts receivable that is

Accounts receivable = Accounts Receivable balance - uncollectible account    ...............1

Accounts receivable = $28,100 - $940

Accounts receivable = $27160

and

allowance will be here

allowance = Doubtful Accounts - uncollectible account  .................2

allowance = $3,200 - $940

allowance = $2260

so Net Accounts receivable is

Net Accounts receivable = $27160 - $2260

Net Accounts receivable = $24900

so correct option is c) $24,900
