The following information is available for Marigold Corp.: Allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2019 $23000 Credit sales during 2020 1250000 Accounts receivable deemed worthless and written off during 2020 26800 As a result of a review and aging of accounts receivable in early January 2021, it has been determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $16700 is needed at December 31, 2020. What amount should Marigold record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020?

$20500

Explanation:

Bad debt is the amount of money that a credit owes the company and is not willing to be paid hence may not be collected.

The amount that Marigold should record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020 goes thus:

Bad debt allowance balance needed =

$16700

Add: Bad debt that are written off = $26800

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts = $23000

Bad debt expense will now be:

= $16700 + $26800 - $23,000

= $43500 - $23000

= $20500

im confused need to go into details plz thx

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
