Answer:
$3,355
Explanation:
Accounts receivables = $ 352,000
Debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 630
Net Sales = $797,000
The company estimates that 0.5% of net credit sales are uncollectible
Estimates of uncollectible receivables
= 0.5% × $797,000
=$3985
This is the total amount to be recognized at the end of the year as Bad Debts Expense. Since a debit of $630 has been recognized already, additional debit required
= 3985 - 630
= $3,355
The amount to be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared is $3,355.
