Year-end adjusting entry for uncollectibles


Question 1: Warner Company's year-end unadjusted trial balance shows accounts receivable of $99,000, allowance for doubtful accounts of $600 (credit), and sales of $28,000. Uncollectibles are estimated to be 1.5% of accounts receivables.

1. Prepare the December 31 year-end entry for uncollectibles.

2. What amount would have been used in the year-end adjusting entry if the allowance account had a year-end unadjusted debit balance of $300?

Question 2: Assume the same facts as in Q1, except that Warner estimates uncollectibles as 0.5% of sales. Prepare the December 31 year-end adjusting entry for uncollectibles.
