Current

Year

Prior Year
Accounts receivable, net of allowances of $153 and $117 $13,589 $11,338
Net revenues 60,420 51,122

According to its Form 10-K, Hassell recorded had debt expense of $88 and there were no bad debt recoveries during the current year. (Hint: Refer to the summary of the effects of accounting for bad debts on the Accounts Receivable (Gross) and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts T-accounts. Use the T-accounts to solve for the missing values.)

  2. 2. Based on your answer to requirement (I). solve for cash collected from customers for the current year, assuming that all of Hassell’s sales during the period were on open account.
