A company began the year with Accounts Receivable of $250,000 and a balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $11,000 (cr.). During the year, the company had credit sales of $540,000, collections on Accounts Receivable of $600,000 and wrote off $9,000 for accounts specifically identified as uncollectible. Additionally, the company collected on $2,500 of accounts previously written off during the year.
Past experience indicates that 2% of credit sales will become uncollectible.
- What is the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable account?
- What is the ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful account after adjustment?
