Calculating: accounts receivable balance, bad debt expense, accounts receivables written off and more...

Can you help me get started with this assignment?

The sales, all on account, of Pins Company in Year 6, its first year of operations, were $700,000. Collections totaled $500,000. On December 31, Year 6, Pins Company estimated that 2 percent of all sales would probably be uncollectible. On that date, Pins Company wrote off specific accounts in the amount of $8,000.

Pins Company's unadjusted trial balance (after all nonadjusting entries were made and after all write-offs of specific accounts receivable identified during Year 7 as being uncollectible) on December 31, Year 7, includes the following accounts and balances:

Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $300,000
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Dr.) 10,000
Sales (Cr.) 800,000

On December 31, Year 7, Pins Company carried out an aging of its accounts receivable balances and estimated that the Year 7 ending balance of accounts receivable contained $9,000 of probable uncollectible accounts. It made adjusting entries appropriate for this estimate. Some of the $800,000 sales during Year 7 were for cash and some were on account; the omission is purposeful.

Required:

a. What was the balance in the Accounts Receivable account at the end of Year 6? Give the amount and whether debit or credit.
b. What was the balance in the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts account at the end of Year 6? Give the amount and whether debit or credit.
c. What was bad debt expense for Year 7?
d. What was the amount of specific accounts receivable written off as being uncollectible during Year 7?
e. What were total cash collections in Year 7 from customers (for cash sales and collections from customers who had purchased on account in either Year 6 or Year 7)?
f. What was the net balance of accounts receivable included in the balance sheet asset total for December 31, Year 7?
