Answer:

b. $34,000

Explanation:

             Accounts Receivable

Opening     60,000       Cash         710,000

Sales          700,000      Write off   8,000  

End bal.       42,000

Allowance for Uncollectible account

Wrote off       8,000     Opening    9,000  

                                     Bad debts  7,000

                                     End bal.     8,000

Net realizable account = Accounts receivable - Allowance for bad debt

Net realizable account = $42,000 - $8,000  

Net realizable account = $34,000
