Answer:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 69,000

Explanation:

If the company estimates its bad debt to be 2% of net credit sales:

sales                        2,500,000

return and allowance (50,000)

               net sales 2,450,000

Then, we calculate 2% of this amount:

2,450,000 x 0.02 = 49,000

As the uncollectible amounts are related to sales rather than account receivable we adjust for the full value giving an ending value of:

beginning 20,000 + adjustment 49,000 = 69,000
