statement effects [LO7-5, 7-6]
Colorado Rocky Cookie Company offers credit terms to its customers. At the end of 2024, accounts receivable totaled $625,000. The
allowance method is used to account for uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of
$32,000 at the beginning of 2024 and $21,000 in receivables were written off during the year as uncollectible. Also, $1,200 in cash
was received in December from a customer whose account previously had been written off. The company estimates bad debts by
applying a percentage of 10% to accounts receivable at the end of the year.

accounts had a credit balance of $53,000 at the beginning of 2024 and $45,500, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2024.
