    Answer and Explanation:

    a. The computation of uncollectible accounts and Journal entry is shown below:-

    Bad Debt expenses Dr, $6,650

    ($2,660,000 * 1 : 4 * 1%)

    To Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,650

    (Being uncollectible accounts is recorded)

    b. The computation of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense is shown below:-

    Accounts receivable = $590,000

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = (Sales of the year * 1 : 4 * 1%) - Credit balance

    = ($2,660,000 * 1 : 4 * 1%) - $5,500

    = $6,650 - $5,500

    = $1,150

    Bad debt expenses = Sales of the year * 1 : 4 * 1%

    = $2,660,000 * 1 : 4 * 1%

    = $6,650

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

    Net realizable value = Accounts receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    = $590,000 - $1,150

    = $588,850
