Answer 13

Note :

Amount of accounts receivable = $500,000 + 200,000 +$100,000 = $800,000

Bad debt = $4,000,000 * 1.5 % = $60,000

Correct ending blance in allowance for doubtful accounts =  $60,000 - $4,000 (dr) = $56,000

Net realizable value of accounts receivable on December 31 = $800,000 - $56,000 = $744,000 (option a )

Answer 14

Total bad debt in current Accounts Receivable account

= $500,000 ( 1 - 0.98)+ 200,000 (1 - 0.90) +$100,000 (1 - 0.80) = $50,000

Correct balance allowance for doubtful accounts = $50,000 + $4,000 (dr) = $54,000
