On january 1, putnam wholesale company's allowance for doubtful accounts had a credit balance of $21,000. during the year, it had net credit sales of $800,000 and it had $25,000 of uncollectible accounts receivable that were written off. past experience indicates that the allowance should be 8% of the balance in receivables (percentage-of-receivables basis). if the accounts receivable balance at december 31 is $300,000, what is the required credit adjustment to the allowance for doubtful accounts at december 31?

Credit Account for Doubtful Accounts by $24,000 on Dec 31.

Explanation:

Opening credit balance as on 1 January = $21,000

Net credit sales for the year = $800,000

Amount of Un-collectible accounts written off = $25,000

Closing balance of accounts receivable = $300,000

Balance of doubtful debts = $300,000 8% = $24,000

Since amount written off as accounts written of for doubtful debts = $25,000

Thus opening balance is fully used of $21,000 and $4,000 is expenses directly the balance is 0 in allowance for Doubtful Debts account.

Therefore, for current year amount credited to Allowance for Doubtful Debts Account = $24,000.

Which is the balance to be maintained.

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.'
