Document Summary

A receivable arising from the sale of goods or services with a verbal promise to pay. Accounts that add up to total accounts receivable. Recognition of bad debts at the point where they will no longer pay. 2/10, net/30= you get 2% off if you pay in 10 days, otherwise you need to pay in. When a company pays you in 9 days, you debit cash 490/discounts 10, and ar credit 500. Deficiencies of the direct write off method. By ignoring the possibility that not all of its outstanding accounts receivable will be collected. By ignoring the possibility of bad debts on sales made during 2016, Roberts has violated its matching principle and has overstated net income for 2016 by ignoring debts as expense. You only hit bad debt expense once when you establish your allowance, until the next year. A contra-asset account: reduce amounts receivable to its net realizable value. Answer: debit ar: 600,000 credit sales: 600,000.

Prepare summary journal entries to account for the 2018 write-offs and the collection of the receivable previously written off. 2. Prepare the year-end adjusting entry for bad debts according to each of the following situations: Bad debt expense is estimated to be 4% of credit sales for the year. Bad debt expense is estimated by computing net realizable value of the receivables. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is estimated to be 10% of the year-end balance in accounts receivable.

Total	Current	1-30 days past due	31-60 days past due	61-90 days past due	More than 90 days past due
$240,000	110,000	60,000	30,000	10,000	30,000
Write-off percentage	1.50%	4.00%	7.00%	10.00%	25.00%
