Answer:

c.The result is based on either a percentage of sales or an analysis of receivables

Explanation:

Generally, companies will choose between two approaches under the allowance method.

Percentage of Sales:  Using historical data, a company examines the relationship between sales and uncollectible accounts receivable.  If there is a fairly stable relationship between the two, a company will use the historical Uncollectible Accounts / Credit Sales ratio to estimate the bad debts expense in the current period.

This method is sometimes referred to as the income statement approach.

Percentage of Accounts Receivable:  Using historical data, a company examines the relationship between accounts receivable and uncollectible accounts.  Companies will oftentimes increase the accuracy of these estimates by looking at their aging schedule for patterns, rather than using a composite (or total) of their receivables

This method is sometimes referred to as the balance sheet approach

What was the primary cause of the deteriorating relationship between u.s and the soviet union?
ruslelena [56]

Answer: Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

</span><span>Martin was born at Eisleben to Margaret and Hans Luder. He was brought up in Mansfeld, where his dad worked at the nearby copper mines. Luther was very successful being as a monk. He dove into supplication, fasting, and parsimonious works on—abandoning rest, continuing bone-chilling frosty without a cover, and whipping himself.</span>
