Bando Company has a $300,000 balance in Accounts Receivable and a $4,000 debit balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Credit sales for the period totaled $1,800,000. What is the amount of the bad debt adjusting entry if Bando uses a percentage of credit sales basis (at 2%) or a percentage of receivables basis (at 10%)?
% Credit Sales % Receivables
a. $36,000 $30,000
b. $40,000 $26,000
c. $36,000 $34,000
d. $32,000 $26,000

Answer: D

Percentage of credit sales basis (2% x $1,800,000 = $36,000)
Percentage of receivables basis (10% x $300,000 = $30,000)

Since Allowance for Doubtful Accounts normally has credit account balance, the amount of the
bad debt adjusting entry for both method will be equal to

$36,000 - $4,000 = $32,000
$30,000 - $4,000 = $26,000
