Answer:
$1,270
Explanation:
The following information pertains to Lightning Inc., at the end of December:
Credit Sales $60,000
Accounts Payable 10.000
Accounts Receivable 7.000
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 400
credit 20,000
Lightning uses the aging method and estimates it will not collect :
1. 2% of accounts receivable not yet due, $3500
2. 10% of receivables less than 30 days past due, $2000 and
3. 40% of receivables greater than 30 days past due. $1500
The accounts receivable balance of $7,000 consists of $3,500 not yet due, $2,000 less than 30 days past due, and $1,500 greater than 30 days past due, as stated above
The appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense?
(0.02*3500)+(0.1*2000)+(0.4*2,500) = 1,270
