Question: journalize September events and reocgnize the bad dbet expense assuming 3% of credit sales

Explanation:

We need to record the events during september:

the sales on account will increase Account Receivables.

The collection decrease it.

The write-off under the allowance method will not reocngize any expense We decrease the accounts receivable agains t the allowance for the full amount

the expected bad debt on credit sale is 3%

540,000 x 3% = 16,200

this increase the allowance and declares the bad debt expense associate with the sales of the period

answer; /// the above statement is (true); good luck
