Answer:
$3,900
Explanation:
December 15: The company sold $2,000 of product to the customer with terms 2/15, n/45. December 31:The company has a fiscal year end of December 31. The company estimates using the aging-of-Accounts Receivable.
Accounts Receivable were $140,000, 3% is the estimate for doubtful accounts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a $300 debit prior to any adjustment.
Therefore the amount to be credited to doubtful account = 0.03 x 140,000 = $4,200
The amount of bad debts = $4,200 - $300 = $3,900
