Wilton, Inc. had net sales in 2020 of $1,400,000. At December 31, 2020, before adjusting entries, the balances in selected accounts were Accounts Receivable $250,000 debit, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,400 credit. If Wilton estimates that 8% of its receivables will prove to be uncollectible, prepare the December 31, 2020 adjusting journal entry. Prepare the journal entry assuming the company was using the direct write-off method instead of the allowance method. Uncollectible Examples (cont) Instead of an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Balance of $2,400 credit, the balance was $1,900 debit. Assume that 10% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. Prepare the entry to record bad debt expense. Instead of estimating uncollectibles based on a percentage of receivables, assume Wilton prepares an aging schedule that estimates total uncollectible accounts at $24,600. (Assume an allowance of $2,400 credit.) Prepare the entry to record bad debt expense
