    The computation is shown below:

    a. The amount for uncollectible accounts is

    = Estimated balance of Allowance for doubtful accounts + Debit balance of allowance account

    = $110,000 + $9,000

    = $119,000

    b. The adjusted balance

    For account receivable = $990,000

    For Allowance for doubtful debts = $110,000

    Bad debt expense = $119,000

    c. The net realizable value of account receivable is

    = Account receivable - allowance for doubtful debts

    = $990,000 - $110,000

    = $880,000
