written off. In addition, $3,200 was collected from a customer whose account was written off in 2023. An aging of accounts receivable

accounts is estimated to be 10% of the year-end balance in accounts receivable.
c. Bad debt expense is estimated by adjusting the allowance for uncollectible accounts to the balance that reduces the
carrying value of accounts receivable to the amount of cash expected to be collected. The allowance for uncollectible
