Soccer Inc. had credit sales of $775,000 during 2020. At the end of 2020, the unadjusted ending balance in Soccer’s Allowance for Bad Debt account was $7,600, and the unadjusted balance in its gross accounts receivable account was $239,000. Soccer uses the percent of sales method to determine bad debt expense. Based on historical data, Soccer assumes that 1.163% of credit sales will prove to be uncollectible. Additionally, the company has a policy of writing-off any Account Receivable which is outstanding more than 75 days. As of 12/31/20, Soccer has Accounts Receivable balances totaling $2,000 outstanding over 75 days which need to be written off.

Sheffield Corp. had record sales in 2020. It began 2020 with an Accounts Receivable balance of $500,000 and an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $35,000. Sheffield recognized credit sales during the year of $6,705,000 and made monthly adjusting entries equal to 0.5% of each month’s credit sales to recognize bad debt expense. Also during the year, the company wrote off $35,300 of accounts that were deemed to be uncollectible, although one customer whose $4,700 account had been written off surprised management by paying the amount in full in late September. Including this surprise receipt, $6,538,000 cash was collected on account in 2020.

To assess the reasonableness of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the controller prepared the following aged listing of the receivables at December 31, 2020:
Days Account Outstanding Amount Probability of Collection
Less than 16 days $353,200 97%
Between 16 and 30 days 124,000 91%
Between 31 and 45 days 76,000 80%
Between 46 and 60 days 38,800 71%
Between 61 and 75 days 19,800 51%
Over 75 days 24,600 0%
$636,400
Your answer is correct.
Reconcile the 2020 opening balance in Accounts Receivable to the $636,400 ending balance on the controller’s aged listing.
