Belkou Company began operations on January 1, 2009. Its first year’s sales were $1,000,000, which were 60%
on credit. On December 31, 2009, the management estimated that 1% of all credit sales would probably be
uncollectible. At the same time, the company wrote off accounts worth $3,500. Before the estimation of bad
debt expense and the write-off of bad debt, the gross amount of accounts receivable had a debit balance of
$75,000.
Required:
Calculation procedures:
On December 31, 2010, the balances in selected accounts were: gross amount of accounts receivable
$85,000; allowance for doubtful accounts $4,500 (debit balance); sales $1,500,000 (70% on credit). The bad
debt expense for 2010 had not been determined or recorded.
After reviewing the write-off of bad debts that occurred during 2010, the company decided that aging of
accounts receivable method is a more appropriate method to control and monitor accounts receivable.
Therefore, the company switched to aging analysis method and prepared the following aging schedule for
accounts receivable by the end of 2010:
Age Amount Estimated percentage
of uncollectible accounts
(3) The amount of bad debts that were written off during 2010 = $ 7,000 ( 4 points)
Calculation procedures: $2,500 + $4,500 = 7,000
