SAS processes a journal entry each month end (including December) to provide for its estimated bad debt expense for the month based on credit sales. At year end, as part of its adjusting entry process, it then uses the aging method to determine the required balance for the AFDA account.
Required:
Prepare journal entries to record the following:
a) Recovery of the AR written off in 20X3.
b) Provision for the estimated bad debt expense in December 20X4 based on credit sales.
c) Year-end adjusting entries to provide for the writeoff of specifically identified accounts and to bring the balance of the AFDA account to the required balance as at December 31, 20X4.
