Kirov, Inc. reports credit sales of $200,000 for the year ending December 31. The year-end unadjusted balance of its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a debit of $9,000. Experience suggests 6 percent of its net sales will be uncollectible. The amount that should be debited to Bad Debt Expense and credited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in its year-end adjusting entry is $3,000 $21,000 $9,000 $12,000 $23,000

    The correct answer is: $12,000

    Explanation:

    uncollectible debt = 6% of net sales

    = 6/100 * 200,000

    = 0.06 * 200,000 = $12,000

    Therefore, $12,000 will be removed (debited) from the bad debt expense because it is uncollectible, and it is added (credited) to the Allowance for Doubtful accounts as bad debt to be paid for in the bad debt reserve account.
