Question
In reviewing its provision for uncollectible accounts during 20x3, Mason Company determined that 1% of credit sales is an appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be charged to
operations. The company had used ½ of 1% as its rate in 20x2 and 20x1 when the expense had been $9,000 and $6,000, respectively. For 20x3, bad debt expense on December 31, 20x3
under the old rate is $3,000 less than it would be under the new rate.. Bad Debt Expense using the old rate has already been recorded.
Net income for 20x3 had been determined to be $250,000 using the old rate for calculating bad debt expense.
What will be the corrected amount of net income for the year?
