Prepare journal entries for each separate scenario below.

Dole's $1,400 balance is uncollectible. (b) If Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $2,100 in the trial balance, journalize the adjusting entry at December 31, assuming uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 10% of accounts receivable. (c) If Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $200 in the trial balance, journalize the adjusting entry at December 31, assuming uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 6% of accounts receivable.
