Answer:
(i) $2,010
(ii) $1,210
(iii) $2,610
Explanation:
(1) Estimated year end Balances for Uncollectible Amounts:
= 1-30 days old + 31-90 days old + more than 90 days old
= (Amount × Estimated Uncollectibles) + (Amount × Estimated Uncollectibles) + (Amount × Estimated Uncollectibles)
= ($12,000 × 3%) + ($5,000 × 15%) + ($3,000 × 30%)
= $360 + $750 + $900
= $2,010
(2) Bad Debt Expense for the year :
= Estimated Uncollectible Amount - Existing Credit Balance in the Allowance Account
= $2,010 - $800
= $1,210
(3) If the existing balance is Debit Balance of $600.
Bad Debt Expense:
= $2,010 + 600
= $2,610.
The year-end balance for the allowance for doubtful accounts is $2,010.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
1. Year end balance
Estimated Uncollectible Amounts= 1-30 days + 31-90 days + more than 90 days old
Year-end balance = ($12,000 × 3%) + ($5,000 × 15%) + ($3,000 × 30%)
Year-end balance = $360 + $750 + $900
Year-end balance= $2,010
2. Bad Debt Expense
Bad Debt Expense = Estimated Uncollectible Amount - Existing Credit Balance in the Allowance Account
Bad Debt Expense = $2,010 - $800
Bad Debt Expense = $1,210
3. Bad Debt Expense:
Bad Debt Expense = $2,010 + 600
Bad Debt Expense = $2,610
Inconclusion the year-end balance for the allowance for doubtful accounts is $2,010.
