Answer 1

Answer:

Assets   =  Liaiblities + Equity

     Cash        A/R   Allowancwe = Revenues - Salaries - bad debt

1                  86000                   86,000

2        72,000 (72,000)                    

3       (39,000)                                      (39,000)

4               (1,625)                                              (1,625)

Totals 33,000 + 14,000 - 1,625  =    86,000 - 39,000 - 1,625

                       45,375.00                      45,375.00

Explanation:

We multiply the outstanding account receivable by their probability accordign to the aging stimations.

7,500 x 0.01   =     75

2,000 x 0.05 =    100

1,500 x 0.10   =    150

1,000 x 0.30 =    300

2,000 x 0.50 = 1,000  

Total                  1,625

This amount decreases the net amount of recievables and recognize a bad debt expense for that amount as well.

Then, we add up the assets (cash and net receivables)

and make sure it matches our equity accounts (revenues less expenses)
