For each age group, the average loss rate on the amount of the receivable due to uncollectibility is estimated to be (1) 5 percent, (2) 10 percent, and (3) 15 percent, respectively. At December 31 (end of the current year), the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance was $870 (credit) before the end-of-period adjusting entry is made. eBook Hint Required: Print References 1.
