Sam and Robert are identical twins. They opened identical businesses and experienced identical transactions. However, they decided to estimate uncollectible accounts in dif- ferent ways. Sam elected to use the percentage of sales method, and Robert elected to use the percentage of receivables method. Listed below are the beginning balances of Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts [items (a)-(c)], and summary transactions that occurred during the year items (d)-(g)] for both businesses. Remember, both businesses experienced the same events: credit sales, collections of receivables, and write-offs. The only difference between the businesses is the method of estimating uncollectible accounts.
