The company estimates future uncollectible accounts to be 2% of credit sales for the year. Credit sales for the year total $282,000.

An analysis of their customers' accounts estimates that 2% of year end account receivable will be uncollectible. The adjusting entry for doubtful accounts will include: Select one: a. An increase to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, $16,000 b. An increase to Bad Debt Expense $20,000 c. An increase to Bad Debt Expense $16,000 d.

Accounts 1-30 days past due = $27,000; estimated uncollectible = 25%. Accounts more than 30 days past due = $7,000; estimated uncollectible = 50%.

- Total doubtful accounts at the end of the year are estimated to be $33,500 based on an aging of accounts receivable. If the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $12,100 debit before adjustment, what is current year's Bad Debt Expense?

Accounts 1-30 days past due = $40,000; estimated uncollectible = 30%. Accounts more than 30 days past due = $7,000; estimated uncollectible = 40%. Record the year-end adjustment for uncollectible accounts, assuming the current balance of the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $1,100 (debit).arrow_forwardBlue Skies Equipment Company uses the aging approach to estimate bad debt expense at the end of each accounting year. Credit sales occur frequently on terms n/60. The balance of each account receivable is aged on the basis of three time periods as follows: (1) not yet due, (2) up to one year past due, and (3) more than one year past due. Experience has shown that for each age group, the average loss rate on the amount of the receivable at year-end due to uncollectibility is (a) 4 percent, (b) 10 percent, and (c) 29 percent, respectively. At December 31, 2022 (end of the current accounting year), the Accounts Receivable balance was $49,800 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance was $990 (credit). In determining which accounts have been paid, the company applies collections to the oldest sales first. To simplify, only five customer accounts are used; the details of each on December 31, 2022, follow: B. Brown-Account Receivable Date Explanation Debit Credit Balance 03/11/2021…arrow_forward
