Austin Incorporated has credit sales of $1,200,000 during 2012 and estimates at the end of 2012 that 1% of these credit sales will default (Austin uses the percentage-of-sales approach). During 2012 a customer defaulted on a $6,000 balance related to goods purchased during 2011. Austin's accounts receivable and allowance for bad debts balances at the end of the year were $50,000 debit and $7,000 credit, respectively (note - the $7,000 credit balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts account is the balance just before the adjusting entry to record 2012 bad debts expense - assume that the $6,000 write-off has already been posted to the Allowance for Bad Debts account).

Prepare journal entries to record:

A)Write off the defaulted $6,000 balance.

B)Adjusting entry to record the bad debt expense for 2012.
