300
Bad Debt Expense $1,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $1,000
Hint: Assume the company uses the allowance method for account for bad debt (based on Accounts Receivable)
What is the journal entry for a company that uses the allowance method for recording bad debit (based on A/R) assuming a credit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $1,000 and an estimation of 2% of A/R will be uncollectible (A/R Balance of $100,000)? Or some other combination that would yield this result.
