This problem continues the Canyon Canoe Company situation from Chapter 7.

Canyon Canoe Company has experienced rapid growth in its first few months of operations and has had a significant increase in customers renting canoes and purchasing T-shirts. Many of these customers are asking for credit terms. Amber and Zack Wilson, stockholders and company managers, have decided it is time to review their business transactions and update some of their business practices. Their first step is to make decisions about handling accounts receivable.

So far, year-to-date credit sales have been \(15,500. A review of outstanding

receivables resulted in the following aging schedule:

Requirements

1. The company wants to use the allowance method to estimate bad debts. Determine the estimated bad debts expense under the following methods at June 30, 2019. Assume a zero-beginning balance for Allowance for Bad Debts. Round to the nearest dollar.

a. Percent-of-sales method, assuming 4.5% of credit sales will not be collected.

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 Sold goods to Lelaine, Inc. for cash of \)2,800 (cost \(840).

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

29 Paid cash for utilities of \(150.

Crystal Clear determined that \)7,000 of receivables outstanding for 1–30 days

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

Assume the account had an unadjusted credit balance of $260. (Round to

nearest whole dollar.)
