Leo Co. uses the allowance method to account for bad debts. At the end of the year, Leo Co.'s accounts receivable balance is $25,000; allowance for doubtful accounts balance of $100 (credit); and sales of $500,000. Based on history, Leo estimates that bad debts will be 2% of accounts receivable. The entry to record estimated bad debts will include a debit to Bad Debts Expense in the amount of:

Respuesta :

The bad debts expense for the year to be debited will be $600.

Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Accounts receivable * 2%

Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $25,000 x 2%

Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $500

Unadjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $100

Amount of bad debt expenses = Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts + Unadjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Amount of bad debt expenses = $500 + $100

Amount of bad debt expenses = $600

Therefore, the bad debts expense for the year to be debited will be $600.
