Here, we will make the Allowance for uncollectible based on accounts receivable. | ||
The entry for creating the Allowance is : | ||
Bad debt | Debit | |
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts | Credit | |
So, uncollectible account usually has Credit balance. Its utilisation entry is: | ||
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts | Debit | |
Accounts Receivable | Credit | |
In our case we have over utilised the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, because the balance is Debit $400. | ||
Balance at the end required | 80000*4% | |
$3,200.00 | Credit | |
Current balance | $400 | Debit |
Therefore current year bad debt expenses in Income statement | $3,600 | |
Correct option | D: $3600 |
I hope you find it well explanatory. Still in case of any query, leave a comment.
