Answer: $15,500

Explanation:

First we calculate the estimated Uncollecteble debt,

= 6% of 310,000

= 0.06 (310,000)

= $18,600

We will then subtract the existing $3,100 to find out how much we will send to the Bad Debt Expense account because the amount already in the account needs to be included in the $18,600.

= 18,600 - 3,100

= $15,500

We will therefore Debit the Bad Debt Expense account with $15,500 and Credit the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the same amount.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

Elina [12.6K]

There are  interests rates in goods sold. If one believes interests rates will move lower in the months ahead, he or she should invest in long-term, fixed-rate savings investments is a false statement.

<h3>Does a higher rate of money supply lower interest rates?</h3>

Note that larger money supply often lowers market interest rates, thereby making it much lower expensive for consumers to borrow.

Investment one should choose today if you believe interest rates will go up is Short-term savings instruments. This is because by investing money in short-term savings instruments, one's money can be available to invest in any kind of  higher interest instrument in the future.
