Question

The accounts receivable balance is $1,000,000. After adjustment, the allowance for uncollectible account balance is $40,000. Net Sales were $12,000,000. What is the net realizable value (book value) of the receivables?

Answer 1

$960,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net realizable value (book value) of the receivable is shown below:

= Balance of accounts receivable - the balance of allowance for uncollectible account

= $1,000,000 - $40,000

= $960,000

Simply we deduct the balance of allowance for an uncollectible account from the Balance of accounts receivable so that the correct amount can come.
