Announcement:

We will check your answers and help you if you will do the following:

1. Post your Dec 28th entry to write off the uncollectibles.
2. Compute the amount of uncollectibles on your aging. For example, it is estimated that .1% of the $100,000 is not collectible. In total, how much is estimated to be uncollectible?
3. What adjustment is needed to bring the allowance to your new estimate?

Once you answer those three questions, we can talk about how it should be reported. Thanks.
