Answer:

a. $7,500

b. Accounts receivable = $90,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $8,350

Bad debt expense = $7,500

c. Net realizable value of accounts receivable =  $81,650

Explanation:

a. Computation of uncollectible accounts is shown below:-

= Total sales × Bad debt expense percentage

= $300,000 × 2.5%

= $7,500

b. Computation of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense

Accounts receivable = $90,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Credit balance + Uncollectible accounts

= $850 + $7,500

= $8,350

Bad debt expense = $7,500

c. Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= $90,000 - $8,350

= $81,650
