(a) Based on an analysis of Simmons Company's $380,000 balance in Accounts Receivable at December 31, it was estimated that $15,500 will be uncollectible. There is a credit balance of $1,200 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts before adjustment. (b) Blake Company had credit sales of $900,000 at year-end, an Accounts Receivable balance of $425,000 at December 31, and an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts credit balance of $11,000 before adjustment. Blake estimates bad debt expense as ¾ of 1% of credit sales. (c) Hidgon Inc. has a balance of $812,000 in Accounts Receivable at December 31.
