Solution

To determine the adjusted balance of the trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018, we need to consider only the items that are actually trade receivables.

From the given data, the following are considered trade receivables:

  1. Other trade accounts receivable – unassigned: P750,000
  2. Trade accounts receivable - assigned: P375,000 (We need to subtract the finance company's equity in assigned accounts, so the actual amount is P375,000 - P150,000 = P225,000)
  3. Trade installment receivable due 1 – 18 months: P330,000 (We need to subtract the unearned finance charges, so the actual amount is P330,000 - P30,000 = P300,000)
  4. Trade receivables from officers due currently: P22,500
  5. Trade accounts on which post-dated checks are held: P75,000

Adding these amounts together, we get:

P750,000 + P225,000 + P300,000 + P22,500 + P75,000 = P1,372,500

So, the adjusted balance of the trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018, is P1,372,500. However, this option is not available in the choices provided. There might be a mistake in the question or the provided choices.
