There is a change of $27,500 (decrease)

Explanation:

Cash realizable value is the amount of money that the company expects to receive from their accounts receivable after deducting all uncollectible accounts.

First, we must compute the change in gross accounts receivable from the transactions happened during the year.

Sales on account less collections less write-offs = change in Gross accounts receivable.

$866,000 - ($522,000 + $42,500) = $301,500 (increase in gross accounts receivable)

Finally, we can now compute the change in cash realization value by deducting uncollectible accounts to gross accounts receivable.

$301,500 - $329,000 = ($27,500)
