Answer:

The amount of adjustment that will be made for uncollectible accounts is A) $6540 .

Explanation:

GIVEN INFORMATION -

Accounts Receivables = $238,000

Allowance of uncollectible account = $600 ( credit )

The percentage for allowance for unaccountable account should be 3% of account receivable, so the amount would be -

3% x Account receivable

= 3% x $238,000

= $7140

Amount of adjustment = $7140 - $600

                                      = $6540
