Answer #1

Required provision for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Required provision for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts -= Net credit sales x Percentage of Bad debt provision

= $900,000 x 1.00%

= $9,000

Here, we’ve an unadjusted credit balance of $11,000 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts which is $2,000 ($11,000 - $9,000) higher than the required provision for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.

Therefore, no extra provision is required for the bad debt expense for the Year and hence no journal entry required.
