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

Romeo and Juliet was a tragic story. Two star-crossed lovers who could not be together, and have a sustaining relationship. Comparing Sasha and Karl to this really shows how these two face a similar proposition. Their relationship is doomed. They can't be together like Romeo and Juliet could not be together.

Define simple and complex learning​
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Similarly, Haas (1991) distinguishes simple learning, which he calls “adaptation,” from genuine learning. Complex learning, by contrast (the only real learning, for Haas), involves the alteration of one's causal beliefs that lead, in turn, to the adoption of new goals.
