Answer:

bad debt expense 6,000 debit

allowance for uncollectible amounts 6,000 credit

Explanation:

expected allowance balance:

account receivable x expected uncollectible amount

200,000 x 4% = 8,000

currently the allowance balance is 2,000

so the amount of the adjustment will be to move the balance to 8,000 from 2,000:  adjusting entry for 6,000

julsineya [31]

The amount of cash received will be the net of discounts and sales returns.

Given,

the sales = $ 2,000

The sales return = $ 800

The discount will be allowed only if the payment is made within the discounts period i.e. 10 days. The sales were made in 15th July and Payment is made on 24th July, thus Carson company is eligible for the discount. The discount will be calculated on the sales net of returns

Net sales = $ 2,000 - $ 800 = $ 1200

Discount = 2 % X $ 1,200 = $ 24

The cash received = $ 2,000 - $ 800 - $ 24 = $ 1,176
