In 2022, Company A had net credit sales of $2,250,000. On January 1, 2022, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance

of $54,000. During 2022, $90,000 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 $600,000, what is the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2022?

Answer:

A credit entry of $96,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Given that Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables

Allowance = 10% * $600,000

= $60,000

Amount written off of $90,000 would have made the  balance in  the allowance for doubtful debts to

= $90,000 - $54,000

= $36,000 (Debit)

However, the balance in the account at the end of the year should amount to $60,000 hence the adjustments required

= $60,000 + $36,000

= $96,000 (credit)

Which common saying best captures the concept of incentives (specifically, positive and negative incentives), which is one of th
lesantik [10]

Answer:

If the carrot doesn't work, try the stick.

Explanation:

This phrase clearly describes how advertising and promotions work:

If the carrot doesn't work: the tempting carrot refers to advertisement, and the doesn't work part refers to advertisement that is not able to change consumer habits and increase sales.

Try the stick refers to offering promotions or positive incentives like discounts or larger packs.

Another example would be the penalty imposed on individuals that refused to purchase health care insurance (eliminated in 2018). The carrot were the benefits obtained by having health insurance and the stick was the negative incentive (or penalty) imposed as a fine for those who didn't purchase health insurance.
