Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Wanda B. Rich is the CEO of Outlet Flooring, a discount provider of carpet, tile, wood, and laminate flooring. At the end of the year, the companys accountant provides Wanda with the following information, before any adjustment.

Accounts receivable $ 10,400,000
Estimated percentage uncollectible 4 %
Allowance for uncollectible accounts $ 104,000 (credit)
Operating income $ 2,600,000

Wanda has significant stock ownership in the company and, therefore, would like to keep the stock price high. Analysts on Wall Street expect the company to have operating income of $1,960,000. The fact that actual operating income is well above this amount will make investors happy and help maintain a high stock price. Meeting analysts expectations will also help Wanda keep her job.

Required:

1. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts using the accountants estimate of 4% of accounts receivable. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
