Chez Fred Bakery estimates the allowance for uncollectible accounts at 1% of the ending balance of accounts receivable. During 2021, Chez Fred's credit sales and collections were $108,000 and $142,000, respectively. What was the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2021, if $130 in accounts receivable were written off during 2021 and if the allowance account had a balance of $930 on December 31, 2021?

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Per the above information,

Ending account receivable balance = Beginning account receivable + Credit sales - Collections - Written off amount

$93,000 = Beginning account receivable + $108,000 - $142,000 - $130

$93,000 = Beginning accounts receivable - $34,130

Beginning accounts receivable = $93,000 + $34,130 = $127,130

So, the beginning account receivable would be;

The ending accounts receivable is computed as;

= $930 ÷ 1%

= $93,000
