Answer #1

Solution: Uncollectible Expense for 2016:

Ending Account receivable = beginning accounts receivable + Sales on account - Collection of receivable - write off of uncollectible accounts

= $46900 +$179000 - $194000 - 900 = $31,000

Ending balance of AFDA= 7% of ending Account receivable = $31000*7% = $2,170

Uncollectible expense for 2016 = Ending AFDA + write off of Uncollectible accounts - Beginning AFDA

= $2170 + $900 - $2700= $370

Solution: Net Realizable value of receivables at 12/31/2016

Net Realizable value of receivables at 12/31/2016 = Ending Accounts receivable - Ending AFDA = $31000- $2170 = $28,830
