j) 7*500 =3500

m) Net Sales = 8,500 + 36,000 - 500 + 25,000 - 3,500 + 17,500 =  $83,000

    Provision for bad debts = $83,000 * 1.5% = $1,245

Provision for Bad debt Adjustment = $5,000 - $1,245 = $3,755 (income)

Net Account receivable = 121000 + 8,500 + 36,000 - 500 + 25,000 - 8,000 - 98,958 - 36,000 -6,000 - 5,000 + 17,500 = 53,542
