Explanation:
1. The journal entries are as follows
Account receivable Dr $198,000
To Sales revenue $198,000
Cash Dr $169,000
To Account receivable $169,000
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Dr $2,890
To Account receivable A/c $2,890
Bad debt expense Dr $7,920
To Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $7,920
It is computed below:
= Credit sales × estimated percentage
= 4% × $198,000
= $7,920
2. The ending balance are as follows
For Account receivable
= Beginning balance + credit sales - cash collections - written off amount
= $35,000 + $198,000 - $169,000 - $2,890
= $61,110
For Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= Opening balance + bad debts - written off amount
= $3,252 + $7,920 - $2,890
= $8,282
Now the net account receivable balance
= Account receivable - Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $61,110 - $8,282
= $52,828
So, the expected collection is $52,828
