a. $ 16 comma 500
b. $ 17 comma 400
c. $ 19 comma 400

$17,200

Explanation:

The computation of the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable at year-end is shown below:

= Blended's ending balance of Accounts Receivable - Blended's year-end balance in Allowance for Bad Debts

= $19,400 - $2,200

= $17,200
