Dec. 31 Based on an analysis of the $1,785,000 of accounts receivable, it was estimated that $35,700 will be uncollectible. Journalized the adjusting entry.
Required:
1. Record the January 1 credit balance of $26,000 in a T account for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
2A. Journalize the transactions. For the December 31 adjusting entry, assume the $1,785,000 balance in accounts receivable reflects the adjustments made during the year. Refer to the chart of accounts for a listing of the account titles the company uses.
2B. Post each entry that affects the following selected T accounts and determine the new balances: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Bad Debt Expense.
3. Determine the expected net realizable value of the accounts receivable as of December 31 (after all of the adjustments and the adjusting entry).
4. Assuming that instead of basing the provision for uncollectible accounts on an analysis of receivables, the adjusting entry on December 31 had been based on an estimated expense of ¼ of 1% of the net sales of $18,200,000 for the year, determine the following:
A. Bad debt expense for the year.
B. Balance in the allowance account after the adjustment of December 31.
C. Expected net realizable value of the accounts receivable as of December 31.
