Answer:
$59,045.80
Explanation:
The following information was missing:
Accounts Receivable total $1,565,170
Assuming the company uses the percent of accounts receivable method, what is the amount that Chiller will enter as the Bad Debt Expense in the December 31 adjusting journal entry?
total uncollectible debt = $1,565,170 x 4% = $62,606.80
since the account balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts is $3,561 (credit), the adjusting entry should be:
December 31, 2013, bad debt expense
Dr Bad debt expense (= $62,606.80 - $3,561) 59,045.80
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 59,045.80
