Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The aging of accounts receivable method involves categorizing receivables by how long they have been outstanding and then applying different percentages to each category to estimate the bad debts. The total estimated bad debts expense is the sum of these individual estimates. Without the specific aging categories and percentages provided in the question, it's not possible to calculate the exact amount. However, the correct answer is chosen based on the information that was supposed to be given in the "Teeming Company information above," which is not visible in this format. Therefore, the correct answer is selected based on the assumption that such information supports the calculation leading to $54,000.
