In 2017 Wilkinson Company had net credit sales of $2250000. On January 1, 2017, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance of $36000. During 2017, $90000 of uncollectible accounts receivable were written off. Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables (percentage of receivables basis). If the accounts receivable balance at December 31 was $600000, what is the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2017

$114,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Net credit sales = $2,250,000

Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $36,000

Uncollectible accounts receivable written off = $90,000

Firstly, we need to find the excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts. It is calculated as follows:

= Uncollectible accounts receivable written off  - Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= $90,000 - $36,000

= $54,000

Allowance amount:

= 10% of the balance in receivables

= 0.1 × $600,000

= $60,000

Therefore, the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2017 is determined by summing up the excess amount and  allowance amount.

= Excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts + Allowance amount

= $54,000 + $60,000

= $114,000

i know right it’s not fair some people are just so rude unlike you your actually trying to get to know people and i think that is very kind

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
