Waterway Company uses the percentage of receivables method for recording bad debt expense. The accounts receivable balance is $602000 and credit sales are $2680000. Management estimates that 3% of accounts receivable will be uncollectible. What adjusting entry will Waterway Company make to record bad debt expense if the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $5000 credit balance before adjustment

Answer:

Estimated uncollectible account at end = $602,000 * 0.03

Estimated uncollectible account at end = $18,060

Bad debt expense to be recorded = Estimated uncollectible - Balance in allowance account

Bad debt expense to be recorded = $18,060 - $5,000

Bad debt expense to be recorded = $13,060

Date  Journal Entry                                        Debit      Credit

         Bad Debt Expense                             $13,060

             Allowance for Doubtful Accounts                 $13,060
