Grass Frog Company sells merchandise only on credit. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the following data are available:

Sales (all on credit)

$2,100,000

Accounts Receivable, January 1, 2021

305,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts, January 1, 2021 (credit)

25,000

Cash collections during 2021

1,980,000

Accounts written off as uncollected (default) during 2021

15,000

For each problem below, be sure to show your work.

  1. Determine the balance of Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2021.

  1. Assume that the company estimates bad debts at 4% of credit sales. What amount will the company record as bad debt expense for 2018?

  1. Now assume the company estimates bad debts based on the aging method. Estimate the ending balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2021 using the information below:

AGE CLASS

% UNCOLLECTIBLE

AMOUNT

Not Past Due

1%

$220,000

1-30 Days Past Due

5%

$110,000

31-60 Days Past Due

10%

$40,000

61-90 Days Past Due

25%

$30,000

Over 90 Days Past Due

50%

$10,000

  1. What is the net realizable value of the receivables to be reported on the balance sheet at year-end (assuming aging method was used by Grass Frog from 3. above)?

  1. TRUE or FALSE (circle one). If we assume that Grass Frog has a large $ amount of receivables, GAAP would allow Grass Frog to also use the direct write-off method for uncollectible receivables.
