Sandhill Company has a $176000 balance in Accounts Receivable and a $496 debit balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at year end just prior to recording adjusting entries. Credit sales for the period totaled $1152000. How much is the amount of the bad debt adjusting entry if Sandhill estimates that 1.5% of its receivables will be uncollectible

Respuesta :

The amount of the bad debt adjusting entry after Sandhill estimates that 1.5% of its receivables will be uncollectible will be $3,136.

Total allowance required = Account receivables * 1.5%

Total allowance required = $176,000 * 1.5%

Total allowance required = $2,640

Now, from the question, the allowance for doubtful accounts have a debit balance of $496, so, an adjustment should be made by adding the Allowance required to the debit balance of the allowance account.

Adjusted amount = $2,640 + $496

Adjusted amount = $3,136

Therefore, the amount of the bad debt adjusting entry after Sandhill estimates that 1.5% of its receivables will be uncollectible will be $3,136.
