Answer #1

Credit sales = $113,000

Cash collection = $132,000

Accounts receivable written off = $120

Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending = $930

Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending = 2% of ending accounts receivable

930 = Ending accounts receivable x 2%

Ending accounts receivable = $46,500

Ending accounts receivable = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales -Cash collection -Accounts receivable written off

46,500 = Beginning accounts receivable+113,000-132,000-120

Beginning accounts receivable = $65,620

The balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2021 = $65,620

Third option is correct.
