Explanation / Answer

2) a) The amount of the adjustment to record the provision for doubtful accounts will be equal to 1% of net sales which is calculated as follows:-

Provision for doubtful accounts = $900,000*1% = $9,000

Therefore the correct answer is d) $9,000.

b) The amount of the adjustment to record the provision for doubtful accounts will be equal to 1% of net sales which is calculated as follows:-

Provision for doubtful accounts = $300,000*1% = $3,000

Therefore the correct answer is a) $3,000.
