Willis had never used the allowance method to account for its receivables till 2016. The net realizable value of its accounts receivable at the end of the year was $34,000. True False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

It's True because you have to deduct from the total Accounts Receivable the balance in the Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts estimated.

The company estimate that 2% of the total Credit Sales will be uncollectible, which is, $4,000, if we deduct this value of the balance of accounts receivable of $38,000, we have a Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable of $34,000

Credit Sales $ 200,000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 4,000

Dr Accounts receivable $ 38,000

Net Realizable Value of Accounts receivable $ 34,000
