Percent of Sales Approach Current Period Credit Sales x Estimated Bad Debt % = Estimated Bad Debts Expense
Percent of Sales Approach Example: BCD Company has sales of $500,000 and estimates 0.5% of those sales will not be collectible. Estimated Bad Debts Expense is calculated as $2,500 ($500,000 x .5%). The period end adjusting entry would be: • Bad Debts Expense 2,500 • Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 2,500 • To record estimated bad debts
Percent of Accounts Receivable Approach Year-end Accounts Receivable x Bad Debt %
Percent of Accounts Receivable Approach Bad Debts Expense is computed as: Estimated adjusted balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Unadjusted year-end balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Estimated Bad Debts Expense The objective for the entry is to make the Allowance account balance equal to the portion of outstanding Accounts Receivable estimated to be uncollectible.
Aging of Accounts Receivable Approach • Assumes that the older the Account Receivable the more likely is will become uncollectible. Steps: • Group accounts based on how much time has passed since they were created. • Estimate rates of uncollectibility for each group. • Apply rate to each group to get the required balance for the Allowance account.
Aging of Accounts Receivable Example: At December 31, the receivables for ABC Co were classified as follows:
Aging of Accounts Receivable Using estimated bad debt percentages, ABC Co would calculate the estimated uncollectible amount as follows:
Aging of Accounts Receivable ABC Co’s unadjusted balance in the allowance account is a debit of $700. The previous computation shows the desired balance is $2,350; therefore, the adjusting entry is for $2,350 + 700 = $3,050.

Writing Off a Bad Debt — Direct Write-off Method Example: A specific customer’s account (Ron Trent) is considered uncollectible. The entry to record the write-off is: Bad Debts Expense 450 Accounts Receivable—Ron Trent 450
Short-Term Notes Receivable Principal of the note Annual interest rate Time expressed in years Interest = X X
Short-Term Notes Receivable Example: Sample Co receives a $2,000, 90-day, 10% promissory note at the time of a sale. The entry to record the transaction would be: Notes Receivable 2,000 Sales 2,000
Short-Term Notes Receivable Example: On December 1, Sample Co receives a $5,000, 60-day, 10% promissory note and $1,000 cash to settle a $6,000 past-due account. The entry to record the transaction would be: Cash 1,000 Notes Receivable 5,000 Accounts Receivable 6,000
Short-Term Notes Receivable On December 31, 30 days after the note is issued, an accrual for interest earned on the note is made. The entry to record the accrual would be: Interest Receivable 41.10 Interest Revenue 41.10 (5,000 x 10% x 30/365) On January 30, the 60-day note matures. The entry to record the honouring of the note would be: Cash 5,082.20 Interest Revenue 41.10 Interest Receivable 41.10 Notes Receivable 5,000.00 (5,000 x 10% x 60/365)= 82.20
