Not past due 1%
130 days past due 3
3160 days past due 12
6190 days past due 30
91120 days past due 40
Over 120 days past due 78
Required:
1. Determine the number of days past due for each of the preceding accounts. If an account is not past due, enter a zero.
2. Complete the aging of receivables schedule by adding the omitted accounts to the bottom of the schedule and updating the totals.
3. Estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, based on the aging of receivables schedule.
4. Assume that the allowance for doubtful accounts for Trophy Fish Company has a debit balance of $3,500 before adjustment on December 31, 20Y6. Journalize the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts. Refer to the chart of accounts for the exact wording of the account titles. CNOW journals do not use lines for journal explanations. Every line on a journal page is used for debit or credit entries. CNOW journals will automatically indent a credit entry when a credit amount is entered.
5. Assuming that the adjusting entry in (4) was inadvertently omitted, how would the omission affect the balance sheet and income statement?
