Problem 8-1A

Sellmore.com uses the allowance method of accounting for bad debts. The company produced the following aging of the accounts receivable at year-end.

Calculate the total estimated bad debts.

				Number of Days Outstanding
		Total		0–30		31–60		61–90		91–120		Over 120
Accounts Receivable		$447,000		$291,000		$86,000		$37,000		$23,000		$10,000
% uncollectible				2%		4%		5%		8%		11%
Estimated bad debts		$

 

Prepare the year-end adjusting journal entry to record the bad debts using the aged uncollectible accounts receivable determined in above. Assume the unadjusted balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $6,000 debit. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Of the above accounts, $7,000 is determined to be specifically uncollectible. Prepare the journal entry to write off the uncollectible account. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

The company collects $7,000 subsequently on a specific account that had previously been determined to be uncollectible in part 3. Prepare the journal entry(ies) necessary to (1) restore the account and (2) record the cash collection. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
