- The company estimates future uncollectible accounts. The company determines $16,000 of accounts receivable on January 31 are past due, and 30% of these accounts are estimated to be uncollectible. The remaining accounts receivable on January 31 are not past due, and 4% of these accounts are estimated to be uncollectible.

An analysis of accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 2% of accounts receivable. The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be: Multiple Choice $1,450 $4.980 $3,270. $4,720arrow_forwardThe financial statements of the Sunland Company report net sales of $384000 and accounts receivable of $50400 and $33600 at the beginning of the year and the end of the year, respectively.
