Part 1 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (16 points) Storm and Strife LLP, an accrual basis law firm, showed an Accounts Receivable balance of $520,000 on its books at the end of 20x2. The firm uses the Accounts Receivable Aging method in determining its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Bad Debt Expense. An aging schedule of the Accounts Receivable showed the following: Balance $ 180,000 110,000 100,000 50,000 50,000 30,000 520,000 A. Estimated % Uncollectible 3.0 % 5.0 % 10.0 % 20.0% 25.0 % 30.0 % Age of Receivable under 30 days 30-60 days 61-120 days 121-180 days 180-240 days over 240 days What is the estimated amount of the firm's Accounts Receivable that will prove to be uncollectible? Show your answer in the box below. 1 B. Assume the following: i. As noted above, the balance in Accounts Receivable before considering any of the following events is $520,000. ii. At the beginning of 20x2, without taking in account any of the transactions described in this problem, the balance in the firm's Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (ADA) account showed a balance of $32,000. iii. During 20x2, the firm actually wrote off $15,000 of specific accounts that were identified as uncollectible. iv. During 20x2, an account in the amount of $10,000 that had been written off in a prior year was unexpectedly collected. Here are some T-accounts (with a couple of beginning balances) that you may find useful: Cash (partial) Income Summary 20x2 (Partial) Accounts Receivable 520,000 ADA 32,000 (beg) Based on your answer to 'A' above, complete the above T-accounts to reflect the transactions described above, and to enter the proper adjustment to the ADA that will also result in the correct (plugged) Bad Debt Expense being shown in Income Summary and thus matched to current revenues in the firm's Income Statement.
