    C. $17,100.

    Explanation:

    Before Write off

    January 1, 2013 Accounts Receivable balance $18,500

    Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $1,400

    Estimated realizable accounts accounts receivable $ 17,100

    The write off method does not affect the realizable value of the accounts receivable. Both assets and net income are affected in the period bad debts expense is predicted and recorded with an adjusting entry.

    After Write Off

    Accounts Receivable $ 18,100

    Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $1,000

    Estimated realizable accounts accounts receivable $ 17,100

    Accounts Receivable $ 52,000

    Less Net realized accounts accounts receivable $ 48,500

    Uncollectibles (bad debts) $ 3,500

    Explanation: Recieveable balance $18500, this is the cash inflow of the company

    Allowance for doubtful accounts $1400 this is usually a percentage of money set aside from cash inflow for debts e. t. c.

    Unaccountable account $400 usually debts

    Receivable after deduction of allowance of doubtful accounts.

    Amount receivable immediately after write off

    $17100 + $1000 = $18100
