Answer 1

Answer:

A. $25,200

B. Accounts Receivable $770,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $32,200

Bad Debt Expense $25,200

C. $744,800

Explanation:

a. Calculation to Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts using this formula

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Credit balance on Allowance for doubtful accounts

Let plug in the formula

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry=$32,200 - $7,000

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= $25,200

Therefore the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts is $25,200

B. Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable will be $770,000

Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be $32,200

Bad Debt Expense = $32,200 - $7,000

Bad Debt Expense= $25,200

c. Calculation to Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable

Using this formula

Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Accounts receivables - Bad debt

Let plug in the formula

Net realizable value of accounts receivable= $770,000 - $25,200

Net realizable value of accounts receivable=$744,800

Therefore Net realizable value of accounts receivable is $744,800
