Answer 1

Cash = $3,610,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Debit: Cash ??

Debit: Bad Debt Expense $410,000

Debit: Accounts Receivables $110,000

Credit: Sales $4,130,000

• Account Receivables for the period = Closing Balance - Opening Balance

Account Receivables for the period = $760,000 - $650,000 = $110,000

• Cash = Credit Sales - Accounts Receivables for the period - Bad Debt Expense

Cash = $4,130,000 - $110,000 - $410,000

Cash = $3,610,000
