    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Accounts Receivable:

    = Beginning Accounts Receivable + Credit sales - Receivables as uncollectible - Cash collections of receivables

    = $68,200 + $176,000 - $1,550 - $203,300

    = $39,350

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

    = Beginning Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Receivables as uncollectible + 1% of credit sales are uncollectible

    = $2,300 - $1,550 + (0.01 * $176,000)

    = $2,300 - $1,550 + $1,760

    = $2,510

    Net realizable value of receivables that Kincaid would report:

    = Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    = $39,350 - $2,510

    = $36,840
