Answer:

TX received cash of $828,500 from collections of accounts receivable.

Explanation:

To arrive at the cash collections on accounts receivable, we need to do a movement of accounts receivable as follows:

Opening balance                    $150,000

Write-off during the year          ($11,500)

Credit sales                            $900,000

Collections                                         X

Closing balance                      $210,000

$1,038,500 - X = $210,000

X = $828,500; therefore, the collections is $828,500.

The allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,900 is only necessary to arrive at the net cash realizable of the accounts receivable as $828,500 - $12,900  = $815,600
