This problem continues the Crystal Clear Cleaning problem begun in Chapter 2 and

continued through Chapter 7.

Crystal Clear Cleaning uses the allowance method to estimate bad debts. Consider the following April 2019 transactions for Crystal Clear Cleaning:

Apr. 1 Performed cleaning service for Debbie’s D-list for \(13,000 on account with

terms n/20.

10 Borrowed money from First Regional Bank, \)30,000, making a 180-day, 12% note.

\(230 of the receivable owed will not be collected. Wrote off this portion of the

receivable.

15 Sold goods to Warner for \)9,000 on account with terms n/30. Cost of Goods Sold

was \(4,500.

28 Collected from More Shine, \)230 of receivable previously written off.

29 Paid cash for utilities of \(150.

were 3% uncollectible, \(10,000 of receivables outstanding for 31–60 days were

20% uncollectible, and \)5,870 of receivables outstanding for more than 60 days

were 30% uncollectible. Crystal Clear Cleaning determined the total amount of

estimated uncollectible receivables and adjusted the Allowance for Bad Debts.

nearest whole dollar.)
