accounts receivable of $200,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $8,500 just before writing off as worthless an ac
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

NRV before writing-off = $191500

NRV after writing off = $198800

Explanation:

Lets first understand what net realizable value is. Net realizable value is the remaining/realizable value of an asset after having subtracted selling or completion costs. In case of receivables, the net realizable value would be the residual value of receivables expected to be received after subtracting any allowances for doubtful debts or un-collectible accounts such as bad-debt (i.e receivables unable to be collected).

NRV before writing-off = $200000 - $8500

NRV before writing-off = $191500

Now lets calculate NRV after a receivable has been declared as uncollectible.

Since $8500 was just an allowance/estimate and now that actual amount of bad-debt has been discovered, we have to  inrease our receivables by the difference of the allowance and bad-debt and that would be the NRV after writing off. I.e $8500 - $1200 =$7300.

NRV after writing off = $191500+ $7300

NRV after writing off = $198800.

This is just like subtracting $1200 from $200000.

Experts recommend that you time your purchases to what, if possible?
nevsk [136]
There are no best times to purchase goods. All economic experts would recommend that you get in touch or be in-the-know of what's happening with the price ranges of goods and services in the market, because just like organisms that evolve, the market is an ever-changing and adapting kind of environment.

Decision on Transfer Pricing Materials used by the Instrument Division of XPort Industries are currently purchased from outside
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$1,029,200

Explanation:

The computation of net income increases is shown below:-

Market purchase cost = 33,200 × $185

= $6,142,000

Component division variable cost = 33,200 × $154

= $5,112,800

Net income increases = $6,142,000 - $5,112,800

= $1,029,200

hence, the net income would be increased by $1,029,000 and the same is to be considered
