I am searching for the correct answer to this general accounting problem with proper accounting rules.
Better Value Hardware began 2010 with a credit balance of $37,500 in the allowance for sales returns account. Sales and cash collections from customers during the year were $1,025,000 and $675,000, respectively. Better Value estimates that 8% of all sales will be returned.

Can you help me solve this general accounting problem with the correct methodology?
