Hello John,
If a question says the receivables allowance is to be adjusted to 1.5% of the remaining balance, how would that be handled? Would the balance increase or decrease by the percentage?
Many thanks ?

The allowance will be 1.5% of the final balance on the receivables account. Whether this requires an increase or decrease in the allowance depends on what the allowance balance brought forward was.
