- Total sales: $610,000

At the end of the year, the company estimates the following transactions associated with sales in the current year will occur next year:

3. **Net Sales**: The final value of net sales calculated by subtracting all deductions from the total sales.
**Explanation:**
Net sales are calculated by subtracting the total sales discounts, sales returns, and sales allowances from the total sales. The estimated future transactions are considered in the company's adjustments and financial planning.
**Calculation:**
1. **Total Deductions for Current Year**:
- Total Deductions = Sales Discounts + Sales Returns + Sales Allowances
- Total Deductions = $13,000 (current year discounts) + $36,000 (current year returns) + $16,000 (current year allowances)
2. **Net Sales**:
- Net Sales = Total Sales - Total Deductions
- Calculate using the total and the current year deductions without considering next year's estimates in the immediate calculation.
