    The following are account balances of the High Flying Company as of December 31, 2009
    The following are account balances of the High Flying Company as of December 31, 2009 before any adjustments:

    Account
    Debit
    Credit



    Accounts Receivable
    1,765,000

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    93,700
    Sales Revenue

    9,000,000
    Bad Debt Expense
    0
    0

    It has been determined that it is very unlikely that the following Accounts Receivable accounts will be collected but no entries have yet been recorded to write off the accounts receivable balances:

    ABC Company: $28,500
    XYZ Company: $25,700
    PDQ Company: $20,000

    Analysis of historical balances indicates that approximately 1% of all sales is a reasonable estimate of uncollectable accounts under the percentage of sales method and 6% of accounts receivable is a reasonable estimate of uncollectable accounts under the percentage of receivables method.
     
    Instructions:
     
    1)Record the journal entries necessary to properly record 2009 bad debt expense for the High Flying Company under each of the following assumptions:

    a.The company uses the percentage of sales method.

    b.The company uses the percentage of receivables method.

    2)Compute the net realizable value of accounts receivable before and after the write-off of the doubtful accounts and recording bad debt expense, under each of the following assumptions:
    a.The company uses the percentage of sales method.

    b.The company uses the percentage of receivables method.

    First, be patient. We're all volunteers doing this around real lives. We're not on here 24/7 waiting for the next question to come in.

    Second, please go read our guidelines for posting homework:
    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/financ...-b-u-font.html

    You've got a LOT here. It seems an unrealistic expectation for someone to just start going through all this and not even have any idea what you have attempted, what you need, etc.

    I did not need all the smart comments. I know the rules and guidelines of posting homework. This post was supposed to be deleted, there is a post with the portions I completed. I understand no one is sitting around waiting and we all have real lives. If you want to be a help, be a help, no one needs your rude remarks and I will post this as an inappropriate post.

    There was nothing "smart" in what I said - I was perfectly serious. And you need to explain how I am supposed to know that this post was supposed to be deleted? Or for that matter how I'm supposed to know you know the rules when they weren't followed. And posting again only an hour later isn't really showing that you know we're not on here 24/7, is it?

    You entire post demonstrates that everything I said was completely legitimate.

    Go ahead, report away.
