Q3.
There are two scenarios:
(a)Suppose the aging schedule has 20% target balance out of the total account receivable $200,000. On that time the unadjusted credit balance in the allowance account is $30,000. Therefore, the bad debt expense would be as below:
Bad debt expense = Target balance – Unadjusted credit balance in the allowance account
= ($200,000 × 20%) – 30,000
= 40,000 – 30,000
= $10,000.
It should make a journal of bad debt expense as debit and allowance account as credit of $10,000.
(b) Suppose the aging schedule has 20% target balance out of the total account receivable $200,000. On that time the unadjusted debit balance in the allowance account is $30,000. Therefore, the bad debt expense would be as below:
Bad debt expense = Target balance + Unadjusted debit balance in the allowance account
= ($200,000 × 20%) + 30,000
= 40,000 + 30,000
= $70,000.
It should make a journal of bad debt expense as debit and allowance account as credit of $70,000.
