Question

Using the percentage of receivables method for recording bad debt expense, estimated uncollectible accounts are $11,000. If the balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $2,800 debit before adjustment, what is the balance after adjustment?

Answer 1

Adjustment balance will be $13800

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given estimated uncollectible accounts are $11,000

And doubtful account is $2800

We have to find the balance after adjustment

Balance after adjustment will be sum of uncollectible accounts and doubtful account

So the adjustment balance will be equal to $11000 + $2800 = $13800

So the adjustment balance will be $13800
