A. $1,465,000
B. $1,375,000
C. $1,285,000
D. $1,410,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts receivables = $1,500,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts = $90,000

Expected uncollectibles = $125,000

The collection of accounts receivables after the adjustment for bad debt expense is determined by deducting the expected uncollectibles from the total amount of accounts receivables.

Accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after adjustment for bad debt expense:

= Accounts receivables - Expected uncollectibles

= $1,500,000 - $125,000

= $1,375,000
