Answer:

The balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts after adjustment is $27,000.  This represents 1.5% of $800,000 net sales (to be charged to bad debt expense for the month) plus the credit balance of $15,000.

Explanation:

An Allowance of Doubtful Accounts is established at the same period when sales take place since an entity is not certain of the amount it will eventually receive from its credit customers.  This allowance is an estimate for bad debts.

Using the percentage-of-sales basis, the company can provide in advance an educated guess of probable bad debts to be incurred using an established rate.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

allow another person to negotiate their salary

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be that employees may have to allow another person to negotiate their salary.</em>

<u>This is because the leaders of labor unions are representatives of employees when it comes to negotiations with the management of the company. They directly or indirectly represent the interests of all employees.</u>

It is virtually not possible for each employee to negotiate their salary, especially in organizations with a large workforce. The labor leaders hold a meeting with all employees and then represent employees at the negotiation table.
