Answer 1

Answer:

I looked for the missing information and found the following:

Total Balance     1-30 days    31-60 days    61-90 days    over 90 days

$329,000          $160,000      $90,000         $51,000           $28,000

% uncollectible        1%                2%                   3%                   20%

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $1,100 credit balance before any adjustment.

total bad debt expense = $1,600 + $1,800 + $1,530 + $5,600 = $10,530

adjusting entry = $10,530 - $1,100 = $9,430

adjusting entry:

December 31, 202x, bad debt expense

Dr Bad debt expense 9,430

    Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 9,430
