1.

An aging schedule of the accounts receivable as at December 31, 2020, is as follows:

Age		Net Debit Balance		% to Be Applied after Write-off Is Made
Under 60 days		$173,000		2%
6190 days		142,000		4%
91120 days		44,000	*	8%
Over 120 days		22,000		$5,200 definitely uncollectible; 20% of remainder is estimated uncollectible
		$381,000

*The $2,800 write off of receivables (see item 4 below) is related to the 91120-day category.

2.		The Accounts Receivable control account has a debit balance of $381,000 on December 31, 2020.
3.		Two entries were made in the Bad Debt Expense account during the year: (1) a debit on December 31 for the amount credited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and (2) a credit for $2,800 on November 3, 2020, and a debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts because of a bankruptcy.
4.		Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is as follows for 2020:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
11/3	Uncollectible accounts written off	2,800	1/1	Beginning balance	8,750
			12/31	6% of $381,000	22,860
