Bad Debt (Uncollectible) When a customer cannot or will not pay the invoice. Four methods: Direct Write off Method Allowance Methods: Percentage of Receivables Aged A/R Percentage of Sales
Direct Write off Method • Use when you have only a few uncollectible invoices and it occurs infrequently. • Transaction: • Bad Debt Expense • A/R
ALLOWANCE ACCOUNT • Set aside of costs that will not occur until the next period but revenue is recorded in current year. • Use when you have several customers who do not pay you and it happens frequently during the same year.
Can’t charge A/R because we don’t know which one will be uncollectible • Fraud Alert or Income Manipulating • If overstate the uncollectible –understate income and income tax • Do not have to worry until the next year. • If audited will need to provide an aged A/R to prove your uncollectible A/C expense
Accounts used • Uncollectible Account Expense • or BAD DEBT Expense • Always a debit balance account • Non- Cash transaction • Allowance for uncollectible – Contra Asset Account • Should be a credit balance
Setting up or adjusting entry - 2009 • Bad Debt Expense 5000 • Uncollectible Account Expense 5000 • Effects Net Income • Writing off bad A/R in 2010 • Uncollectible Account Expense 4000 • A/R 4000 • Does not effect net income

___________________________________ Write off A/R | Setting up or adding to | | 5000 7000 | ------------------------------------------------- 2000 Balance Wrote off more than estimated
Accounts Receivable • Less Allow.for Uncollectible Accts • = Net Receivables • (Net realizable value) • Exercise 5-7 pg 247
Exercise 5-13 page 248 • Compare allowance method with the direct write off method and the effect on income tax.

Percentage of Sales • Percentage of A/R --- Balance Sheet Method • Good because it is closest to net realized value • Most accepted method • Percentage of Credit Sales – Income Statement Method • Good because better matched with revenue • Only accepted if the amounts do not differ significantly from Percentage of Receivables • Exercise E5-19 page 249
Receivable Analysis • Good to get when you first start the job or higher a new person. • Later show how you have helped to improve A/R collections • Receivables turnover ratio • Average collection period
Receivables turnover ratio -- # of times during the year the Avg A/R is collected or turned over • Net Credit Sales • Avg A/R • Higher the number of times, the better. • Average collection period -- # of days A/R balance is outstanding or how long did it take to collect A/R
