The allowance for doubtful accounts is a reduction to the accounts receivable. This is a contra account, similar to accumulated depreciation.
Account receivable is that part of sales which are done on credit so if company received cash at the time of sales that would be asset as well so it is the amount which is receivable in future so it is current asset of company.
A subsidiary ledger is a group of similar accounts whose combined balances equal the balance in a specific general ledger account. The general ledger account that summarizes a subsidiary ledger's account balances is called a control account or master account. For example, an accounts receivable subsidiary ledger (customers' subsidiary ledger) includes a separate account for each customer who makes credit purchases. The combined balance of every account in this subsidiary ledger equals the balance of accounts receivable in the general ledger. Posting a debit or credit to a subsidiary ledger account and also to a general ledger control account does not violate the rule that total debit and credit entries must balance because subsidiary ledger accounts are not part of the general ledger; they are supplemental accounts that provide the detail to support the balance in a control account.
Account receivable is a balance sheet item shown under current assets on the asset side, having a debit balance. It doesn't have anything to do with net income as accounts receivable is never shown in the trading profit and loss account. Only credit sales relating to such receivables during the current year forms part of the credit side of profit and loss and nit the account receivable itself.
Accounts receivables are on the balance sheet. They are an asset of the firm, that is they represent a future economic benefit. The income statement holds the revenues and expenses of the business.
The answer is in your question actually. If you received cash on account the asset of CASH will increase, while the asset of Account Receivable will decrease.Since you received cash it is assumed that they paid you cash on a balance that they owed you, so the journal entry would be a debit to cash (increase) and a credit to accounts receivable (decrease)
Accounts receivable is also part of assets of business and cash as well so there is no difference on overall assets of business.
