Young and Restless Corporation (YRC) uses two aging categories to estimate uncollectible accounts. Accounts less than 60 days are considered current and have a 5% uncollectible rate. Accounts more than 60 days are considered delinquent and have a 30% uncollectible rate.. YRC’s Allowance for Doubtful Accounts currently has an unadjusted credit balance of $551

If YRC has $54,080 of current accounts and $4,910 of delinquent accounts, how much should be reported in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts? 54080*.05 + 4910*.30 -551 = 3626 IS WRONG
