Answer 1

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

As the Allowance of Doubtful Accounts account  already has the balance of $12,000, and we need $35,000 at the end of the year. We know that Allowance of Doubtful Accounts account account has credit nature so it needed $23,000 ($35,000 - $12,000) to be adjusted at the end of the year to make the adjusted balance equals to $35,000. So, the adjusted account balance will be $35,000.
