Solution

To calculate the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, we need to multiply the outstanding receivables by the percentage assigned by management for each time period.

  1. For the receivables 0-30 days outstanding: 100,0001100,000 * 1% = 1,000
  2. For the receivables 31-60 days outstanding: 10,000510,000 * 5% = 500
  3. For the receivables over 60 days outstanding: 1,000201,000 * 20% = 200

Then, we add up these amounts: 1,000+1,000 + 500 + 200=200 = 1,700

So, after making the adjusting entry, the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will equal $1,700.
