Answer to question a
Total sales during the second year $504000
Reported net income $50400 (after writing off the uncollectables)
Net income before writing off the uncollectables $55200 (50400+4800)
Amount to be written off under allowance method $6300 (1.25% of $504000)
Net income during the second year $48900 (55200-6300)
Answer to question b
Total sales during the first year $420000
Reported net income $46200 (after writing off the uncollectables)
Net income before writing off the uncollectables $50200(46200+4000)
Amount to be written off under allowance method = $5250 (1.25% of $420000)
Actual Uncollectables during the first year $4000
Balance of the allowance for doubtful account at the end of first year= 1250 (5250-4000)
Amount transferred to allowance for doubtful account during second year $6300
Actual uncollectables during the second year $4800
Balance of the allowance for doubtful account at the end of the second year will be $2750 (1250+6300-4800)
