2.

The allowance for doubtful accounts will have a credit balance . As per the calculation above, the amount to be reported in the allowance account is $179,400. Since, there is an unadjusted credit balance of $50,000 in the allowance account, we need to credit only the difference i.e., $129,400 ($179,400 - $50,000) to the account.


3.

The allowance for doubtful accounts will have a credit balance . As per the calculation above, the amount to be reported in the allowance account is $179,400. Since, there is an unadjusted debit balance of $6,000 in the allowance account, we need to credit the total i.e., $185,400 ($179,400 + $6,000) to the account.

Amount to be reported 179400
