Answer 1

Answer:

The net realizable value of the accounts receivable amounts to $613,690

Explanation:

NRV stands for Net Realizable value, which is defined as the cash amount that the firm expects to receive.

The net realizable value of the accounts receivable is computed as:

Net realizable value of the accounts receivable = Balance of Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

where

Balance of Accounts Receivable amounts to $632,338

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts amounts to $18,648

Putting the values above:

Net realizable value of the accounts receivable = $632,338 - $18,648

Net realizable value of the accounts receivable = $613,690
