Answer:

$26,600

Explanation:

Bad debts expense based on a percentage of credit sales requires an adjusting entry equal to the percentage of credit sales; no consideration is given to the ending balance of the allowance account when computing the adjustment.

The adjusting entry will include a credit to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account for $26,000 (or $650,000 x .04).

Note, however, that this question asks for the ending balance in the allowance account.

Since there is a $600 credit balance prior to adjustment, the balance in the allowance account after adjustment will be $26,600

(the credit balance of $600 + a credit of $26,000 will yield an ending credit balance of $26,600).

Answer:

$26600

Explanation:

The bad debits are estimated at 4% of $650000 which is = 0.04 * 650000

which is equal to  $26000. from the question above the the year end credit balance of the company prior to adjustment is $600 therefore after the adjustment made due to bad debts the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts will be : estimated bad debts + credit balance = $26000 + $600 = $26600

Bad debts are debts been owed a company by its debtors or customers which might not be recovered and the little the percentage the better for the company.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

D) An illusory promise

Explanation:

An illusory promise is not enforceable. Illusory promises are simply illusions that seem or appear to a contract, but are not.

In this case, there is no consideration at all, therefore none of the parties is bound by a contract. It would be different if the company promised to pay a bonus if its profits are xx%. How can someone determine what is considered high profits, and how can you be sure that management will agree?

It is basically like telling someone else that you will give them something if you are happy and willing to do it. How can someone determine if you are happy or not, and how can someone know if you are willing to do it or not?
