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
