Solution

The net receivables (net realizable value) after the write-off can be calculated as follows:

  1. Start with the initial balance of Accounts Receivable, which is $2,300.

  2. Subtract the amount that was written off. In this case, an 80accountreceivablewaswrittenoff.So,80 account receivable was written off. So, 2,300 - 80=80 = 2,220. This is the new balance of Accounts Receivable after the write-off.

  3. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $200 credit balance. This is an estimate of the amount of Accounts Receivable that is expected to become uncollectible in the future. However, this does not affect the calculation of net receivables after a specific account has been written off.

So, the net receivables (net realizable value) after the write-off is $2,220.
