Given it’s the first year of operations, Previts’ management is unsure how much allowance for uncollectible accounts it should establish. One of the company’s competitors, which has been in the same industry for an extended period, estimates uncollectible accounts to be 2% of ending accounts receivable, so Previts decides to use that same amount. However, actual write-offs in the following year were 25% of the $290,000 (= $72,500). Previts’ inexperience in the industry led to making sales to high credit risk customers. Required: 1.
