Any help you can give me in entering these items in a General Journal would be greatly appreciated.

Prepare the entries for the following transactions. (omit explanations.)

Dec. 1 Sold Merchandise on account to Katurh Wells for $600
12 Received payment of $400 from Katurh Wells
31 Made adjusting entry for Uncollectible Accounts Expense, using the precentage of
net sales method. Net sales for the year totaled $14,000, uncollectible accounts
are estimated at 2 percent, and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts has a $50
credit balance prior to adjustment.

Feb. 5 Wrote off Katurah Well's balance because she filed for bankruptcy
17 Unexpectedly received the $200 from Katurah Wells.


Is all the information needed from Dec. 31 and how would I prepare entries for these?

Dr.Cash.........................................400
Cr.Accounts receivable.....................400

Dec. 31
Dr.Bad debts expense................280
Cr.Allowance for doubtful accounts.....280
note: since you are using the net sales method to know the ammount that is uncollectible you need to multiple the total sales by the expecte uncollectible %, and it will give you the bad debts expense directly, instead of the balance for the Allowance for uncollectible accounts

if sweetendra has any complains about me giving her the answer let her complain to me you don't need to complain for her

i'm not saying that giving answers are bad....explaining the answers are better.. if she only copies and not finds out how the answer are get and why she will have the same problem again...we have to make people stronger accountants thats our duty

This does help, thanks so much. going over it and taking in mental notes helps me learn.
