Answer: $6,000

Explanation:

When expenses such as this interest expense are for 12 months or more, the deduction will need to be evenly spread over the period that they apply to. As the loan was to be repaid in 24 months, the interest payment deductions should be evenly spread over 24 months.

= 12,000/24

= $500

That means that for Year 2, the relevant deduction will be for the 12 months in it;

= 500 * 12

= $6,000

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessar to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.
