    C. $24,000

    Explanation:

    We assume that the company follows the percentage-of-sales method. In this method, the company ignored the previous balance of allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    So, the amount of the adjusting entry to record the estimate of the uncollectible accounts would be

    = Net credit sales * estimated percentage given

    = $600,000 * 4%

    = $24,000

    All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
