Solution:
When uncollectible account is written off under the allowance method, Allowance for doubtful accounts is debited and accounts receivable is credited, resulting in decrease in gross receivable and decrease in allowance for doubtful accounts with same amount. Therefore net realizable value does not decrease when an uncollectible account is written off. Further we have already account of bad debt losses in income statement under the allowance method before account become uncollectible. When business is sure that a particular amount becomes bad, they just set off the account with available allowance balance, hence no impact on net realizable value.
