Explanation / Answer

1. Prepare the following entry for this company to recognize bad debts under each of the following independent assumptions. a) Bad debts are estimated to be 2% of credit sales. With percentage of sales the current balance in the allowance account is ignored. 3,534,000 x 2% = 70,680 Dr Bad Debt Expense 70,680 Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 70,680 The Allowance account now has a credit balance of 70,680 - 15,750 = $54,930 b) An aging analysis estimates that 5% of year-end accounts receivable are uncollectible. When using percentage of receivables, the Allowance account must be taken into consideration. 1,070,100 x 5% = 53,505 amount estimated to be uncollectible. Since there is a debit balance in the Allowance account, that is added to the previous amount. 53,505 + 15,750 = $69,255 amount of adjustment Dr Bad Debt Expense 69,255 Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 69,255 The Allowance account now has a credit balance of 53,505, the same amount that is estimated to be uncollectible. 2.
