1. An aging schedule of the accounts receivable as at December 31, 2020, is as follows:

Under 60 days $173,000 2%
6190 days 142,000 4%
91120 days 44,000 * 8%
Over 120 days 22,000 $5,200 definitely uncollectible; 20% of remainder is estimated uncollectible
$381,000

*The $2,800 write off of receivables (see item 4 below) is related to the 91120-day category.

2. The Accounts Receivable control account has a debit balance of $381,000 on December 31, 2020.
