Question

g Oregon Corp. prepares its financial statements annually and has a calendar year end. The adjusted trial balance ( NO MORE ADJUSTING ENTRIES ARE NEEDED) shows the following balances at December 31, 2019 (all accounts have normal balances): December 31, 2019 General Ledger Balances: Bad debt expense $ 100,000 Accounts Receivable 2,000,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 300,000 What amount would be reported on Oregon Corp's balance sheet as the NET accounts receivable (the cash realizable value) at December 31, 2019

Answer 1

$1,700,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the NET accounts receivable (the cash realizable value) at December 31, 2019 is shown below:

= Account receivable - allowance for doubtful debts

= $2,000,000 - $300,000

= $1,700,000

By deducting the allowance for doubtful debts from the account receivable we can get the net account receivable or the cash realizable value

Therefore we ignored the bad debt expense
