Explanation:

The entries to record sales it's a debit to the accounts receivables because it was a credit sales and a credit entry to the Sales Accounts.

As the company use the Allowance for Uncollectible accounts method that states:

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

So, at the momento of the write-off we record a debit entry to the Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts against the accounts receivable to reflect the uncollectible accounts in the balance sheets.

If the company recovers the bad debts as a collectible account, then the company had to reverse the last entry when the accounts were declared as bad debt.

Uncollectible accounts are estimated to total $26,820 at the end of the period  

Last, to register the new balance of uncollectible accounts it's necessary to consider the balance of the account at the momento of the adjustment.

The  Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must reflect a creit balance of $26,820, as it previously had some movements then the account reflects a credit balance of $4,819 that comes from:
