At the beginning of 2021, brad’s heating & air (bha) has a balance of $26,000 in accounts receivable. Because bha is a privately owned company, the company has used only the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts. However, at the end of 2021, bha wishes to obtain a loan at the local bank, which requires the preparation of proper financial statements. This means that bha now will need to use the allowance method. The following transactions occur during 2021 and 2022. During 2021, install air conditioning systems on account, $190,000. During 2021, collect $185,000 from customers on account. At the end of 2021, estimate that uncollectible accounts total 15% of ending accounts receivable. In 2022, customers’ accounts totaling $8,000 are written off as uncollectible.

Based on the various transactions by BHA, the preparation of the financial statements using the allowance method will involve several journal entries in both 2021 and 2022.

What would be the journal entry to record the installation of air conditions?

Date             Account title                                       Debit                Credit

2021            Account Receivable                       $190,000

                    Service revenue                                                      $190,000

What would be the journal entry to record the collection of cash from customers on account?

= $4,650
