Credit sales during 2000 were $611,000, and collections from customers, excluding recoveries, totaled $591,000.

Because the recovery doesn't affect the A/R balance. The entries for the recovery are:

A/R 17K DR
AUA 17K CR
To reverse the writeoff

Cash 17K DR
A/R 17K CR
Cash collection

Gross A/R will not be affected by the recovery of the write-off.
