Current assets:

   Receivables, net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of $45,000            $507,000

 

During 2021, credit sales were $1,825,000, cash collections from customers $1,905,000, and $54,000 in accounts receivable were written off. In addition, $4,500 was collected from a customer whose account was written off in 202. An aging of accounts receivable at December 31, 2021, reveals the following:
