Debit Credit
Sales (75% represent credit sales) ?????????? $1,152,000
Accounts Receivable $288,000 ????????

a. Without considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, income statement approach, 1% of total sales.
b. Without considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, income statement approach, 1.5% of credit sales.
