Explanation:

Computation for the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet

First step is to find the credit sales

Credit sales=.75(400,000)

Credit sales=300,000

Second step is to find the 3% of 300,000

3% of 300,000=9,000

Third step is to add credit sales amount to Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

9,000 +1,800

=$10,800

Last step is to find the net realizable value

Net realizable value=Accounts Receivable $240,000-$10,800

Net realizable value=$229,200

Therefore the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet is $229,200
