Methods for Estimating Uncollectible Expense Percentage of Sales Aging of Receivables

Slide 10

Percentage of Sales 4 This is also called the income statement approach. 4 It is based on prior experience of the business. 4 It is computed as a percentage of credit sales. 4 It ignores the current balance of the allowance account. 4 The percentage used is adjusted as needed to reflect collection experience.

Slide 11

Percentage of Sales Example 4 The credit department of Anas Boutique estimates (based on prior experience) that 1% of net credit sales are uncollectible. 4 Net credit sales for the year just ended were $500,000. 4 What is the adjusting entry? 4 $500,000 1% = $5,000

Slide 14

Aging of Accounts Receivable 4 This approach is also called the balance sheet approach because it focuses on accounts receivable. 4 Individual accounts receivable from specific customers are analyzed according to the length of time they remain outstanding.

Slide 15

Aging of Receivables Example 4 Assume that International Hospitals past collection experience indicates the following: 4 Length of time % uncollectible 1-30 days2.0 31-60 days3.0 61-90 days5.0 90 + days8.0
