Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Credit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $1,000
  • Debit to Bad Debt Expense of $1,000

Here's why:

  1. The company estimates that 1% of the 100,000ofcreditsaleswillbeuncollectible.Thismeansthatthecompanyexpectstonotreceive100,000 of credit sales will be uncollectible. This means that the company expects to not receive 1,000 (1% of $100,000).

  2. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is an account that is used to show the estimated amount of uncollectible accounts at a specific time. This account should be credited with the estimated uncollectible amount, which is $1,000.

  3. The Bad Debt Expense is an account that is used to record the estimated uncollectible accounts for a specific period. This account should be debited with the estimated uncollectible amount, which is also $1,000.

  4. The $100 unadjusted credit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is not relevant in this case because the percentage of credit sales method does not take into account the existing balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
