Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $54,000 and $2,400, respectively. During Year 2, Allegheny wrote off $4,200 of Uncollectible Accounts. After aging its receivables, Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $4,000. What will Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement

Allegheny will report $5,800 as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement.

Explanation:

Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $4,000 for year 2

Before Adjustment year 2

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Balance = $2,400 credit - $4,200 = $1,800 debit

Account receivable balance = $54,000 - $4,200 = $49,800

As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have debit balance of $1,800, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $4,000 at the year end.

Adjustment Value = $4,000 + $1,800 = $5,800

Uncollectible Accounts Expense for year 2: 5,800

Explanation:

                         Allowance

                    DEBIT         CREDIT

BEG                                    2,400

Write-offf       4,200

Adjusmtent                       XXX    

Ending                              4,000

The aging method determined the ending balance we must solve for the adjustment made against uncollectible account expense:

beginning - write-off + adjustment = ending

2,400 - 4,200 + X = 4,000

X = 4,000 + 4,200 - 2,400 = 5,800

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.

best of luck,
