Explanation:

a) Services provided to customers on account increase the accounts receivable and the Service Revenue accounts by the same amount.

b) Cash Receipts from customers on account decrease the accounts receivable and increase the Cash Account by the same amount.

c) Allowance for Uncollectible (Doubtful) is a provision made to cover the risk of credit sales.  The account is a contra account to the Accounts Receivable and is increased or reduced accordingly depending on the estimated allowance.  Write-off of debts deemed uncollectible is done in this account.

d) The net realizable value of accounts receivable is the balance of accounts receivable less the allowance for uncollectible at the end of the period.
