Problem 25 

From inception of operations to December 31, 2021, Edulsa Corporation provided for  uncollectible accounts receivable under the allowance method. Provisions were made monthly  at 2% of credit sales; bad debts written off were charged to the allowance account; recoveries  of bad debts previously written off were credited to the allowance account and no year-end  adjustments to the allowance account were made. Edulsa Corporation’s usual credit terms are  net 30 days.

The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was P65,000 at January 1, 2021. During  2021, credit sales totaled P4,500,000, interim provisions for doubtful accounts were made at  2% of credit sales, P45,000 of bad debts were written off and recoveries of accounts previously  written off amounted of P7,500. Edulsa Corporation installed a computer facility in November  2021 and an aging of accounts receivable was prepared for the first time as of December 31,  2021. A summary of the aging is as follows:
