The answer is "<span>$960,000".
This is how we calculate this;
</span><span>sales = $1,500,000
</span><span>fixed expenses = $450,000
</span><span>contribution margin ratio = 36% = 36/100 = 0.36
</span>total variable expenses = <span>($1,500,000) (1 – 0.36)
= (1,500,000)(0.64)
= $960,000</span>
Answer:
Debit Bad debt expense $15,120
Credit Allowance for doubtful debt $15,120
Being entries to record estimated bad debts

Where a debit that had previously been determined to have gone bad gets settled, debit cash and credit bad debt expense.
Account receivables balance as at year end

= $126,000
Allowance for doubtful debt = 12% * $126,000
= $15,120
