Problem 5-6 (PHILCPA Adapted)
At the beginning of current year, Rampant Company
reported that the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit
balance of P170,000.
Bad debt recoveries and bad debts written off in the current
year were P30,000 and P235,000, respectively.
The allowance account had been previously calculated as a
percentage of net sales.
It was decided however to provide for doubtful accounts
commencing with the year-end adjusting entry on the basis of
an analysis of the age of the receivables.
The following schedule was prepared.
Percent
uncollectible
Not yet due
1-30 days past due
31-60 days past due
61-90 days past due
