Answer:

1. realizable value = accounts receivable - allowance for doubtful accounts = $45,700 - $3,000 = $42,700

2. the journal entry used to write off the account is:

Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 420

    Cr Accounts receivable 420

Since both accounts receivable and the allowance account are decreased in the same amount, the net realizable value doesn't change (still is $42,700).
