    Customer declared bankruptcy journal entry
    Customer owing $ 6000 declared bankruptcy
    Estimate of uncollectible accounts is 3% of A/R

    In unadjusted trial bal
    I have
    A/R DR 250,000
    Allowance for doubt ful A/C CR 15,000


    As part of TRIAL BAL
    I did A/R CR 6000
    And Allowance for doubt ful A/C DR 6000


    Also part of question is "Estimate of uncollectible accounts is 3% of A/R"
    If I take 244000 and 3% uncollectible it comes to 7320
    Where as in my allowance for Doubt ful A/C Bal is 9000 after adjustments.

    So not sure what I have to do when they are saying "Estimate of uncollectible accounts is 3% of A/R"
