The computation of the amount reported for accounts receivable before allowances is shown below:

Ending account receivable balance = Beginning account receivable balance + credit sales - collections from customers - written off account receivable amount

= $840,000 + $3,390,000 - $3,090,000 - $67,000

= $1,073,000
