Assalam-o-Alikum!

 

According to my understanding, the NRV for Receivables is option A i.e128,000. Because the NRV is a B/S term and B/S shows the allowance figure only. The bad debts (uncollectible receivables) can occur only after the allowance is provided against receivables. Now how i calculated it is as follows:

 

Allowance for un-collectible receivables:

             Dr. Allowance for un-collectible receivables    12,000 (I/S expense)

                  Cr. Allowance for un-collectible receivables      12,000 (B/S allowance)

 

Un-collectible receivables (Bad debts):

              Dr. Allowance for un-collectible receivables    8,000 (B/S allowance)

              (Because the expense has already been charged to I/S when you created the allowance)

                  Cr. receivable accounts                                            8,000 (B/S)

 

Net realisable value (NRV): (Clubbing the above entries)

             Accounts receivables            132,000 [140,000(Total receivables) -8,000 (un-collectible)]

             Less:  Allowance                        (4,000) [12,000 (Total allowance) -8,000 (un-collectible)]

             NRV                                              128,000

First of all we need to understand the term "NRV A/R".

 

It refers Net balance reported in balance sheet. That is a simple calculation of Accounts receivable minus "contra asset account" allowance for uncollectible.

 

In this case, Option A will be right answer. ( -0) =
