Problem 3. Long calculation questions (20 Marks)

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:

(1) Accounts Receivable @Dec 31, 2009: $ 71,500 (4 points)


(2) Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts @ Dec 31, 2009 $ 2,500 (4 points)
Net value of Accounts Receivable @ Dec 31, 2009 $ 69,000

Calculation procedures:

Accounts Receivable @Dec 31, 2009 = 75,000 - 3,500 =$71,500

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts @ Dec 31, 2009 = 1,000,000*60%*1%-3,500= $2,500

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

Not due yet $50,000 1%


Up to one year past due $30,000 5%
More than one year past due $ 5,000 30%
$85,000
Required:

(3) The amount of bad debts that were written off during 2010 = $ 7,000 ( 4 points)
Calculation procedures: $2,500 + $4,500 = 7,000

(4) Bad debt expense for 2010 = $ 8,000 (4 points)


Calculation procedures: (50,000*1%+ 30,000*5%+5,000*30%) + $4,500 = $8,000

(5) Receivable Turnover for 2010 =1,500,000/[(69,000+81,500)/2]=19.93 (4 point)


Or Receivable Turnover for 2010 =1,500,000*70%/[(69,000+81,500)/2]=13.95 (4 points)
