ACCT 2301 Week 8 Discussion 1 | Assignment Help | Central Texas College
Discuss the two bases that may be used to estimate bad
debts under the allowance method.
The first method, percentage of sales, assumes there is a direct
relationship between the amount of sales and the amount of bad debt expense
shown on the income statement. The second method, percentage of receivables,
assumes there is a direct relationship between the outstanding (uncollected)
receivables and the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts shown on the
balance sheet.
Explain how to calculate simple interest on a note receivable (P x R x T
= I). You should also be able to determine maturity date and maturity value
(principal + interest).
