    How do I determine the net realizable value of the following?

    The general ledge reported a/r of 2,150,000 in jan 2007
    the allowance for doubtful accounts had a credit balance of 40,000
    throughout 2007 the company wrote off 140,000 and collected 21,213,600 on account from credit customers. This amount includes a NSF check of 3600
    Credit sales for year ending dec 31 2007 were 20,000,000
    Of these sales 2% were estimated to eventually become uncollectable.

    any help would be great.

    In practical terms this type of work is called bridging.

    With the help of a SPREDSHEET you would need to identify the beginning balance.
    Each movement fully controlled is then entered in the correct place.
    If you deal with each item in turn , making sure you contol to totals , by croos casting
    You would come to the CLOSING Balances.

    You need to develop this over a period of
    Months.
    One of the tricks is not to clean up the items with a ZERO balance.
    Maintain the same list over a period.
    The spreadsheet helps you to carry forward the same positions over a number of months.
