Expert Solution

1A.

	Accounts Receivable		Percent Uncollectible (#.##%)		Estimated Uncollectible
Not Due	900,000	x	1.35%	=	12,150
1 to 30	360,000	x	2.10%	=	7,560
31 to 60	72,000	x	6.60%	=	4,752
61 to 90	36,000	x	33.25%	=	11,970
over 90	14,400	x	69%	=	9,936
Estimated balance of allowance for uncollectibles	1,382,400				46,368

1B.

Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending = $46,368

Allowance for doubtful accounts, existing = $15,000

Bad dent expense = Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending - Allowance for doubtful accounts, existing

= 46,368-15,000

= $31,368

No	Date	General Journal	Debit	Credit
1	Dec 31	Bad debt expense	$31,368
		Allowance for doubtful accounts		$31,368
		( To record bad debt expense)
