Answer:

  • Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
  • Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000

Explanation:

The total estimated bad debts are $4,800 (= $80,000 x 6%). So the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account ending balance should be $4,800. Since this account is a contra asset account, the ending balance should be $4,800 credited.

But currently the account has a $1,200 debit balance (it's like -$1,200), so the adjustment record must be = $4,800 + $1,200 = $6,000

That way the ending balance = $6,000 - $1,200 = $4,800

The journal entries should be:

  • Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
  • Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000

ankoles [38]

Answer:

social loafing

Explanation:

Social loafing refers to a psychological phenomenon where people who participate in teams will not try their best in order to achieve the team's goals because he/she believes that other team members will do it, and they will either solve the problem or perform the required task. That way they will benefit from other people's work.

This is not something that only happens in businesses, we all have a classmate that doesn't participate in group assignments because he/she knows that the others will complete it and everyone will be graded equally based on the group's performance.
