    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
    Does this means that you have allowance for actual doubtful accounts?
    Such as a 25,000 (credit) to offset the accounts that are proven uncollectable.

    Ok, Here is my question! My homework question! I am only asking for feedback not asking anyone to answer the question itself.

    Scott Co. reported allowance for doubtful accounts of $25,000(credit) at December 31, before preforming an aging of accounts receivable. As a result of the aging. Scott determed that an estimated $35,000 of the December 31 accounts receivable would prove uncollectable. What would be the adjusting entry required at December 31?

    Here is the answers at bottom but I am going to provide my own answer also.

    A. Doubtful Accounts Expense $35,000
    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $35,000

    B. Doubtful Accounts Expense $35,000
    Accounts Receivable $35,000

    C. Allowance for Doubtful Account $10,000
    Doubtful Accounts Expense $10,000

    D. Doubtful Accounts Exoense $10,000
    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $10,000

    My answer is D because I offsite the 25,000 from the 35,000 and received 10,000.

    This is why I asked the very first question at top.
    Do anyone think am on track?
