Answer 1

the answer is 2.046.000

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you have to do all the journal entries that hit the AR account and then sum up the movements

Firstly Sales

Sales 3.000.000

AR 3.000.000

Cash sales ( 20% that were sold in cash)

AR 600.000

Cash 600.000

Write off 27.000

Ar 27.000

Once you have that sum all the movements for AR

Beginning balance 165.000

Sales 3.000.000

cash sales -600.000

Write off -27.000

Total 2.538.000

then minus ending balance that was given of 492.000

2.538.000-492.000= 2.046.000
