Answer 1

Given:
Net sales: 600,000
Accounts receivable: 750,000 debit
allowance for doubtful accounts: 1,500 debit
3% of the net sales will prove uncollectible

600,000 x 3% = 18,000

Net Realizable Value of the receivables to be reported on the financial statements at December 31,2014 is 733,500.

750,000 - 18,000 + 1,500 = 733,500
