Flyer Company has provided the following information prior to any year-end bad debt adjustment:
Flyer estimates bad debt expense assuming that 1% of credit sales have historically been uncollectible. What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded?
Multiple Choice
$4,320.
$2,760.
$6,360.
$4,560.
Correct answer------------$6360
Working
Bad debts recorded (456000 x 1%) | $ 4,560.00 |
Add: Allowance for doubtful debts current balance | $ 1,800.00 |
Net balance in allowance account | $ 6,360.00 |
Calculation of bad debts using % of sales method does not adjust the balance in allowance account before recording bad debts.
