Uncollectible Accounts--Two Methods
at the End of the Year the Unadjusted

Uncollectible accounts--two methods
At the end of the year the unadjusted trial balance of Angel Provisions included the following accounts:
(a.) If Angel uses the balance sheet approach to estimate uncollectible accounts expense, and aging the accounts receivable indicates the estimated uncollectible portion to be $6,075, what will the uncollectible accounts expense for the year be?
(b.) If the income statement approach to estimating uncollectible accounts expense is followed, and uncollectible accounts expense is estimated to be 1% of net credit sales, what is the amount of uncollectible accounts expense for the year?
$$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | } \hline & \text { Debit } & \text { Credit } \\\hline \text { Sales } ( 80 \% \text { represent credit sales) } & & \$ 780,575 \\\hline \text { Accounts Receivable } & \$ 101,475 & \\\hline \text { Allowance for Doubtful Accounts } & & \$ 1,218 \\\hline\end{array}$$
