Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. The
allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $12,000 at the beginning of 2021 No previously written-off accounts
receivable were reinstated during 2021. At 12/31/2021, gross accounts receivable totaled $200,000, and prior to recording the
adjusting entry to recognize bad debts expense for 2021, the allowance for uncollectible accounts had a debit balance of 22,000.
