Answer:

Black report as its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20 of $25,200

Explanation:

The computation of the allowance for the doubtful account is shown below:

= Ending account receivable balance × estimated percentage

= $504,000 × 5%

= $25,200

To find out the allowance for a doubtful account we simply calculate the estimated amount based on the ending balance of the accounts receivable and the given percentage.

All other values are not relevant. Hence, ignored it
