Prepare an income statement for Roth Service Co. for 2018. What is the net realizable value of the accounts receivable at December 31, 2018

Answer and Explanation:

a. The preparation of income statement is shown below:-

                               Income Statement

Service revenue                               $80,000

operating expenses  

Salary expenses           $28,000

Uncollectible accounts

expense                        $3,273

Total operating expense                   $31,273

Net income                                         $48,727

Working Note :-

Days       Amount     Percentage     Allowance balance

Current   $16,800       0.01                  $168

0-30         $5,100        0.05                 $255

31-60       $4,000        0.10                  $400

61-90       $2,000        0.30                 $600

Over 90

days         $3,700       0.50                  $1,850

Total        $31,600                                $3,273

b. The computation of net realizable value of the accounts receivable is shown below:-

Net realizable value = Accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts

= ($80,000 - $48,400) - $3,273

= $31,600 - $3,273

= $28,327
