Stiller Company uses the allowance method to account for bad debts.
 
In the first year of operations (2014), Stiller sold $540,000 of merchandise on credit, including a $2,500 sale to Bubba Long. On December 31, 2014, it provided an addition to its allowance for doubtful accounts equal to 1.8% of its credit sales.
