(1) Uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 5% of Credit Sales.

(2) Uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 14% of Accounts Receivable.

2. How would Maverick’s Accounts Receivable appear on the December 31 balance sheet under assumption (2) of part (a)?

3. In light of the House bankruptcy, examine the allowance and direct write-off methods in terms of their ability to properly match revenues and expenses.
4. Allowance method: analysis of receivables. At a January 20X2 meeting, the presi­dent of Sonic Sound directed the sales staff “to move some product this year.” The president noted that the credit evaluation department was being disbanded be­cause it had restricted the company’s growth. Credit decisions would now be made by the sales staff.

By the end of the year, Sonic had generated significant gains in sales, and the president was very pleased. The following data were provided by the accounting department:

20X2	20X1
Sales	$23,987,000	$8,423,000
Accounts Receivable, 12/31	12,444,000	1,056,000
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, 12/31	?	23,000 cr.

Age of Receivable	Amount	Percentage of Accounts Expected to Be Collected
Under 31 days	$5,321,000	99%
31260 days	3,890,000	90
61290 days	1,067,000	80
