Calculate the amount of bad debt expense to be recorded at 12/31/2020, assuming each of the following independent situations: a. Bad debt expense is estimated to be 3% of credit sales for the year. b. Bad debt expense is calculated using the results of the aging analysis shown below. An aging of receivable at December 31, 2020, reveals the following: Age Group Percentage of Year-end Percent Receivables in Group Uncollectible 0-60 days 65% 4% 61-90 days 20% 12% 91-120 days 10% 25% Over 120 days 5% 40% NOTE: Using an aging of accounts receivable is one approach for using the gross receivables method. Using an aging approach applies a different percentage to each aging category in determining the desired ending balance in the allowance account rather than using a single percentage. An aging approach is more precise because you are adjusting the percentage based on the age of the accounts, the older the account the more likely it is to become uncollectible.
