ABC Corporation had a 1/1/20 balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $40,000. During 2020, it wrote off $28,800 of accounts and collected $8,400 on accounts previously written off. The balance in Accounts Receivable was $960,000 at 1/1 and $800,000 at 12/31. At 12/31/20, Vasguez estimates that 5% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. What is Bad Debt Expense for 2020

$20,400

Explanation:

The computation of the bad debt expense for 2020 is shown below:

Ending balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts = Beginning balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts + bad debts -write off amount

where,

Ending balance of allowance for uncollected accounts is

= $800,000 × 5%

= $40,000

Beginning balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $40,000

And, the written off amount is

= $28,800 - $8,400

= $20,400

So, the bad debt expense is

= $40,000 - $40,000 + $20,400

= $20,400

We simply applied the above formula so that the bad debt could arrive

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
