Answer:
$114,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Net credit sales = $2,250,000
Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $36,000
Uncollectible accounts receivable written off = $90,000
Firstly, we need to find the excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts. It is calculated as follows:
= Uncollectible accounts receivable written off - Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts
= $90,000 - $36,000
= $54,000
Allowance amount:
= 10% of the balance in receivables
= 0.1 × $600,000
= $60,000
Therefore, the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2017 is determined by summing up the excess amount and allowance amount.
= Excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts + Allowance amount
= $54,000 + $60,000
= $114,000
