Sagot :

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The net realizable values are as follows

ai For accounts receivables

Ending balance of account receivables = Beginning balance of account receivables + Credit sale - Collections uncollectible amount

= $187,800 + $860,400 - $687,720

= $360,480

aii For allowance for doubtful debt

= Beginning balance + Previously written off amount - Uncollectible amount + Bad debt expense

= $9,630 + $2,859 - $7,381 + $18,412

= $23,070
