= (Credit sales × estimated percentage given ) - (credit balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts)

= ($985,750 × 2%) -  ($18,000)

= $19,715 - $18,000

= $1,715

= (Credit sales × estimated percentage given ) + (debit balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts)

= ($985,750 × 2%) -  ($18,000)
