Answer:
$114,000
Explanation:
When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.
To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.
Given that it estimates its bad debts to be 3.5% of credit sales, estimated bad debt
= 3.5% * $3,200,000
= $112,000
If the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts has a $2,000 debit balance and the estimated allowance balance should be $112,000, allowance for doubtful debt required
= $112000 + $2000
= $114,000
To account for this,
debit bad debit expense $114,000
credit allowance for doubtful $114,000
