ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Answer 2

$1,085,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the ending account receivable balance is shown below:

= Accounts receivable balance, 1/1/2016 + credit sales - sales returns - written off amount - Collections from customers

= $650,000 + $2,700,000 - $75,000 - $40,000 - $2,150,000

= $1,085,000

Since we have to find out the account receivable balance before allowances so we do not considered it.
