When it comes to preparing journal entries, there are different methods that are used with accounts receivable and bad debts such as the percentage of sales and the percentage of receivable methods. The percentage of sales estimates what percentage of credit sales will be uncollectible. This percentage is based on past experience and projected credit policy. The company applies this percentage to either the credit sales or the net credit sales of that current year. The percentage of receivables estimates what percentage of receivables will result in losses from the uncollectible accounts. The company uses an aging schedule in which classifies customer balances by the length of time they have been unpaid. After the company arranges the accounts by age, it determines the expected bad debt losses. The longer a receivable is past due, the less likely that it will be collected.…
