The company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible receivables. at the beginning of the year, allowance for bad debts had a credit balance of $ 800. during the year blended wrote off uncollectible receivables of $ 2,100. blended recorded bad debts expense of $ 2,900. blended's year-end balance in allowance for bad debts is $ 1, 600. blended's ending balance of accounts receivable is $ 19,500. compute the net realizable value of accounts receivable at year-end.

$17,900

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Allowance for Bad Debts at the beginning of the year = $800

Uncollectible receivables during the year = $2,100

Bad Debts Expense at the year end= $2,900

Allowance for Bad Debts at the year end = $1,600

Accounts Receivable at the year end = $19,500

Now,

Net realizable value is calculated as:

= Account receivable at the end of year - Allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of year

= $19,500 - $1,600

= $17,900
