Answer:

c. $42,000 increase

Explanation:

The computation of the change in cash realizable value is shown below:

= Adjusted cash balance - Cash realizable value

where,

Adjusted cash balance = Ending balance of accounts receivable + sales on account - collections - written off amount - bad debt expense

= $525,000 + $145,000 - $86,000 - $8,000 - $54,000

= $522,000

And, the cash realizable value is $480,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $522,000 - $480,000

= $42,000 increase
