Net credit sales  $5,200,000,

Beginning Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $49,000 Cr

Ending Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $43,500 Cr

Accounts Receivable Written Off $ 24,900

Estimated Bad debts =   1.30% of  $5,200,000 = $ 67,600

1) The bad debts expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales is  $ 67,600.

<h2><u>2.   All. for Uncollectibles    </u></h2><h3><u>Debt                                        Credit </u></h3>

                                  Beg Bal; $ 49,000

Bad debts 67,600

A/R written Off

$24,900

<u>                                          Balance $ 43,500 </u>
