![**Understanding Accounts Receivable Aging Schedule**
In this section, we are looking at an Accounts Receivable Aging Schedule. An Aging Schedule is used by accountants to manage and monitor account receivables. This ensures effective tracking and has a critical role in predicting and preparing for uncollectible amounts.
Below is the detailed breakdown of the image contents, including a table and an accompanying multiple-choice question.

2. **Account Receivable Amount:** The total amount due from customers.
- The cells for the first two categories (1-30 days, 31-60 days) are empty and not specified in this table.
- For "over 60 days" there is an empty highlighted cell indicating where the amount in this category should be calculated.
3. **Allowance for Uncollectible:** Percentage estimated to be uncollectible.
