Analysis of Receivables Method
At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $455,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $4,000; and sales for the year total $2,050,000. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $19,600.

for uncollectible accounts.

Note Receivable
Quick Tire and Lube received a 120-day, 9% note for $84,000, dated April 9, from a customer on account. Assume 360 days in a year.
a. Determine the due date of the
note.
b. Determine the maturity value of the
note.
$
c. Journalize the entry to record the receipt of the payment of the note at maturity. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
a)Opening Balance of doubtful accounts = $4000
Closing balance of doubtful accounts = $ 19600
Amount of adjusting entry required = $(19600-4000) = $15600
b) Accounts receivable = $455000
Allowance for doubtful debts = $19600
Bad debt expense = $15600
c) Net realisable value of accounts receivable = $(455000-19600) = $435400
When the credit balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts is set off from the accounts receivable account, the balance figure is the net realisable value of accounts receivable.
NOTES RECEIVABLE:
a)Assuming there are 360 days in the year , there are 30 days in each month. Hence, since the maturity period of the note is after 120 days, the due date of the note would be August 9th.
b) Interest on the note = 84000*120/360*9/100 = $2520
hence, the maturity value of the note = 84000+2520 = $86520
Debit ($) Credit ($)
c) Cash A/c 86520
9% Notes receivable 84000
Interest Income 2520
