Answer:
$42,300 credit balance
Explanation:
The question is incomplete:
Jensen Corporation uses the percentage-of-sales method to estimate uncollectibles. Net credit sales for the current year amount to $2,010,000 and management estimates 3% will be uncollectible. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts prior to adjustment has a debit balance of $18,000. After all adjusting entries are made, the balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts will be:
uncollectible accounts = $2,010,000 x 3% = $60,300 credit
the adjusting entry at the end of the year:
December 31, 202x, bad debt expense:
Dr Bad debt 60,300
Cr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 60,300
the ending balance of the Allowance for uncollectible accounts account = $60,300 - $18,000 (debit balance) = $42,300
