Explanation:

The net realizable values are as follows:

a. For Accounts Receivable

Ending balance of account receivable = Beginning balance of account receivable + credit sales - collections - uncollectible amount

= $201,400 + $840,400 - $758,910 - $8,026

= $274,864

b. For Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= Beginning balance + previously written off amount - uncollectible amount + bad debt expense

= $8,570 + $2,889 - $8,026 + $19,747

= $23,180  

Now the journal entries are shown below:

a. Accounts receivableA/c $840,400

       To Sales revenue A/c $840,400

(Being the sales is recorded)

Cash A/c Dr $758,910

      To Sales revenue A/c $758,910

(Being the collection  is recorded)

b. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c Dr $8,026

                To Account receivable A/c $8,026

(Being uncollected amount is recorded)

c. Accounts Receivable Dr A/c Dr $2,889

               To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c $2,889

(Being uncollected amount is recorded)

Cash A/c Dr $2,889

           To Accounts Receivable A/c Dr $2,889

(Being recovery of uncollectible amount is recorded)

d.  Bad debt expense A/c Dr $19,747

             To Allowance for doubtful debts  $19,747

(Being bad debt expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below

= $23,180 -  ($8,570 +  $2,889 + $8,026)

= $19,747
