Expert Solution

Answer #1

Net Realizable Value of Henry’s Receivables on Jan 1

Accounts receivables	$ 185,000.00
Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	$ 44,000.00
Net Realizable Value	$ 141,000.00

Answer #2

The balance in Accounts Receivables immediately following the write off = $ 170,500

This is because written off amount reduces the Accounts receivables balance.

Hence, $ 185000 - $ 14500 = $ 170,500

Answer = $ 170,500

Answer #3

Written off amount reduces the balances of both – Account receivables account as well as Allowance for Doubtful Account.

Accounts receivables [185000 – 14500]	$ 170,500.00
Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts [44000 – 14500]	$ 29,500.00
Net Realizable Value	$ 141,000.00
