The result of two or more amounts being combined. For example, net sales is equal to gross sales minus sales returns, sales allowances, and sales discounts. The net realizable value of accounts receivable is the combination of the debit balance in accounts receivable and the credit balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The book value of equipment is also a net amount: the cost of the equipment minus the accumulated depreciation of the equipment.

"The lifetime PRO membership is indeed one of the smartest purchases I've ever made. I have used it all as a refresher course, as a study guide, and reference to my current client issues. The extraordinarily clear and engaging explanations make self-study possible for anyone with an interest in accounting. I simply can't recommend it enough. Thank you AccountingCoach." - Donald R.
