Question

A company has the following balances on December 31, 2018, after year-end adjustments: Accounts Receivable = $62,500; Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts = $6,200.

Calculate the net realizable value of accounts receivable

Answer 1

Answer: The net realizable value is the maximum value that can be achieved with the sale of the asset, discounting the costs associated with it.

The net realizable value (NRV) of accounts receivable would be:

NRV = Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

NRV = $ 62,500 - $ 6,200

NRV = $ 56,300
