Question

E8-6 Computing Bad Debt Expense Using Aging of Accounts Receivable Method [LO 8-2] Young and Old Corporation (YOC) uses two aging categories to estimate uncollectible accounts. Accounts less than 60 days are considered young and have a 5% uncollectible rate. Accounts more than 60 days are considered old and have a 40% uncollectible rate. Required 1. If YOC has $106,000 of young accounts and $460,000 of old accounts, how much should be reported in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts? Amount to be Reported 166,300 2. If YOC's Allowance for Doubtful Accounts currently has an unadjusted credit balance of $46,000, how much should be credited to the account? Amount to be Credited $ 157,300 3. If YOC's Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has an unadjusted debit balance of $5,600, how much should be credited to the account? Amount to be Credited $ 157,300

Explanation / Answer

1) Amount to be reported = (106000*5%+460000*40%) = 189300

2) Amount to be credited = (189300-46000) = 143300

3) Amount to be credited = (189300+5600) = 194900
