Dexter Chung · Answer 1

The correct answer is c) $9,000

Explanation:

If net credit sales are $300,000 and bad debt expense is estimated at 3% of net credit sales.

$300,000 x 3% = $9,000

or

$300,000 x 0.03 = $9,000

The amount of the adjusting entry to record the estimated uncollectible accounts receivables is $9,000
