From inception of operations to December 31, 2010, Harris Corporation provided for uncollectible accounts receivable under the allowance method: Provisions were made monthly at 2 percent 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. Harris's usual credit terms are net 30 days.
