On january 1, year 2, kincaid company's accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts carried balances of $31,000 and $500, respectively. during the year kincaid reported $72,500 of credit sales. kincaid wrote off $550 of receivables as uncollectible in year 2. cash collections of receivables amounted to $74,550. kincaid estimates that it will be unable to collect one percent (1%) of credit sales. the net realizable value of receivables appearing on kincaid's year 2 balance sheet will amount to:

$27,725

Explanation:

Given that,

kincaid company's accounts receivable = $31,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts at January 1 = $500

Wrote off receivables as uncollectible = $550

1% of credit sales

cash collections of receivables = $74,550

Accounts receivable:

= Accounts receivable at January 1 + Credit sales - Wrote off receivables as uncollectible - Cash collection of receivables

= $31,000 + $72,500 - $550 - $74,550

= $28,400

Accounts for Doubtful Accounts:

= Allowance for doubtful accounts at January 1 - Wrote off receivables as uncollectible + 1% of credit sales

= $500 - $550 + (0.01 × $72500)

= $500 - $550 + $725

= $675

Net realizable value of receivables:

= Accounts receivable - Accounts for Doubtful Accounts

= $28,400 - $675

= $27,725

Therefore, the net realizable value of receivables appearing on kincaid's year 2 balance sheet will amount to $27,725.
