Explanation:

The net realizable values are as follows:

a. For Accounts Receivable

Ending balance of account receivable = Beginning balance of account receivable + credit sales - collections - uncollectible amount

= $201,400 + $840,400 - $758,910 - $8,026

= $274,864

b. For Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= Beginning balance + previously written off amount - uncollectible amount + bad debt expense

= $8,570 + $2,889 - $8,026 + $19,747

= $23,180
