A company has $80,000 in outstanding in accounts receivables and it uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. Experience suggests that 5% of outstanding receivables are uncollectible. The current credit balance (before adjustments) in the allowance for doubtful accounts is $600. The journal entry to record the adjustment to the allowance account includes a debit to Bad Debts Expense for $4,000.

With regard to accounts receivable, both GAAP and IFRS require the allowance method for uncollectibles (unless uncollectibles are immaterial).

It is never good practice to accept a note receivable in exchange for an overdue account receivable.

A company that uses the allowance method to account for its bad debts had credit sales of $740,000 in 2010, including a $720 sale to Linda Paul.

On June 1, 2011, the company wrote off as uncollectible the $720 account of Linda Paul; and on December 21, 2008 Linda Paul unexpectedly paid her account in full. Prepare the necessary journal entries (a) on December 31, 2010, to reflect the estimate of bad debts expense; (b) on June 1, 2011, to write off the bad debt; and (c) on December 21, 2011, to record the unexpected collection.
