A company has the following account balances at the beginning of an accounting period: Accounts receivable $417,000 and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $12,000. During the year, the company had net sales (all on credit)of $700,000, collections on accounts receivable of $540,000, and $7,000 of accounts were written off.
