Receivables
The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts before audit adjustment is a credit of P80,000. It is estimated that an allowance
should be maintained to equal 5% of trade receivables, net of amount due from the consignee who is bonded. The company has
not provided yet for the 2010 bad debt expense.
