Net accounts receivable

Answer 1

Net account receivable

2021 $8,085

2022 $5,335

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the net account receivable

2021 2022

Total account receivable 14,700 9,700

(33,200-18,500=14,700)

(48,200-38,500=9,700)

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts (6,615) (4,365)

(45%*14,700=6,615)

(45%*9,700=4,365)

Net account receivable 8,085 5,335

(14,700-6,615=8,085)

(9,700-4,365=5,335)

Therefore Net account receivable will be :

2021 $8,085

2022 $5,335
