    Answer: The answer is c. 133,000.

    Explanation: Accounts receivable is a current asset in the balance sheet (statement of financial position). Meaning, it easily can be converted to cash. The amount schedule of account receivable usually looks like this:

    Opening balance $18,000

    +Addition 130,000

    -Receipt (cash) X

    =Closing balance $15,000

    To find X, simply change the subject of the formula as:

    $18,000 + $130,000 - X = $15,000

    $148,000 - X = $15,000

    X = $148,000 - $15,000

    X = $133,000 Receipt (cash)
