Solution
To determine the adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, follow these steps:
-
Calculate the net trade receivables. This is the current trade accounts receivable plus the past due trade accounts, minus the credit balances in customers' accounts.
Net Trade Receivables = P3,440,000 + P640,000 - P80,000 = P4,000,000
-
Subtract the amount due from the consignee. The consignee sold goods costing P96,000 for P160,000, charged a 10% commission, and remitted the balance.
Amount due from consignee = P160,000 - 10% of P160,000 = P144,000
Net Trade Receivables after consignee = P4,000,000 - P144,000 = P3,856,000
-
Calculate the estimated allowance. This is 5% of the net trade receivables after the consignee.
Estimated Allowance = 5% of P3,856,000 = P192,800
-
Add the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts before audit adjustment to the estimated allowance.
Adjusted Balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = P192,800 + P80,000 = P272,800
However, none of the options (a. P204,000, b. P179,200, c. P216,000, d. P172,000) match this result. Please check the question or the options again.
