Answer:

a. $17,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the balance after adjustment is

= Net credit sales × estimated percentage - credit balance of Allowance for doubtful debts

= $950,000 × 2% - $2,000

= $19,000 - $2,000

= $17,000

We simply applied the above formula so that the adjusted balance could come

Hence, the first option is correct
