The percentage of receivables approach to estimating bad debts expense is used by Hayes Company.

On February 28, the firm had accounts receivable in the amount of $585,000 and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance of $370 before adjustment. Net credit sales for February amounted to $3,000,000. The credit manager estimated that uncollectible accounts would amount to 5% of accounts receivable.
