Answer:
$1,160
Explanation:
<em>Hie, I have attached the full question as an image below.</em>
The firm usually makes provision for certain amounts so as not to overstate their profits. This expected as it is prudent than reporting profits that might never occur. Provisions of Uncollectible accounts are examples of such amounts.
An increase in Uncollectible amount compared to the opening balance is treated as an Expense in the Income Statement whilst a decrease is treated as an Income.
For this question, we are told that Uncollectible accounts are determined by the percent-of-sales method to be 4% of credit sales. Thus calculation of the 2012 uncollectible-account expense is as follows :
Credit Sales - 2012 = $44,000
Beginning Balance in allowances = $600
Therefore,
Uncollectable Amount (2012) = Credit Sales x percent-of-sales
= $44,000 x 4%
= $1,760
The Uncollectable amount has increased by $1,160 ($1,760 - $600)
Conclusion :
The collectible-account expense for 2012 is $1,160
