Answer 1

The Underwood Corporation

Net Accounts Receivable:

2021 = $7,975 ($14,500 - $6,525)

2022: = $3,200 ($9,500 - $6,300)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Accounts Receivable during year 2021 = $32,000

September 17, 2021 Cash received (17,500)

December 31, 2021 Balance = $14,500

March 4, 2022 Services on account = 47,000

May 20, 2022 Cash received (10,000)

Bad Debts written off (4,500)

October 19, 2022 Cash received (37,500)

December 31, 2022 Balance = $9,500

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

December 31, 2021 = $6,525 ($14,500 * 45%)

Bad Debts written off (4,500)

December 31, 2022 = $4,275 ($9,500 * 45%)

December 31 Balance $6,300

b) The net accounts receivable is equal to the Balance of the Accounts Receivable minus the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (all at December 31) for each year.
