Bad debt for Accounts Receivable: ThreeBrothers management does not expect there to be any change in the collectability of its credit sales related to its normal operations. ThreeBrothers uses the Accounts Receivable approach to estimate bad debts, and the aging schedule at 12/31/2017 is summarized below

Days outstanding     % of AcctsRec      Estimated % Uncollectible

0-30 days                          40%                             0.30%

30-60 days                        35%                             0.80%

60-90 days                        15%                             10.00%

>90 days                           10%                             25.00%

I need the adjusting journal entry and closing journal entry, if necessary. Thank You.
