Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

provision For Doubtfull Accounts Yr.3

Opening Bal.                                        =                         3,750

For the Year (215000*2%)                   =                          4300

Write-off                                                =                        -2100

Closing Balance (3750+4300-2100)  =                        5950

Account Recievable For Yr.3

Opening Bal.                                        =                         61000

Sales For the Year (215000*2%)         =                          215000

Provision For the Year                         =                        -4300

Cash Recived from Debtors                =                        218000

Closing Balance                                   =                        53700

Net Realizable Value of Recievables

Closing Debtors                                    =              53700  

Closing Provision                                  =              -5650

Net Realizable Value                             =             47750
