Prepare the journal entry to write off the Rose Company’s account on April 10 of the following year in the amount of $650.

Journal entry shown in description.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation can be done as follows:

First we calculate the noncollectable amount of the company for each period :

0-30 days= $90000 × 1% = $900

31-60 days =$20000 × 2%  = $400

60-120 days = $11000 × 5% = $550

121-180 days = $6000 × 10% = $600

Over 181 days = $6000 × 25% = $1500

So, total noncollectable amount is = $3,950

So Journal entry of the following can be done as:

a. Journal for estimated credit loss:

Date          Particulars                       Debit                       Credit

Dec 31   Bad debt expense(3910-820)$3,130

b.  The journal entry to write off the Rose Company’s account

Date         Particulars                        Debit                Credit

               Accounts receivable                                                $650
