Answer 1

d. $1,470,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable is shown below:

= Ending balance of accounts receivable - credit balance of uncollectible amount

= $1,600,000 - $1,30,000

= $1,470,000

For finding out the cash realizable value, we deduct the credit balance of uncollectible amount from the ending balance of accounts receivable
