Required:

Perfect Painting read on the internet that similar companies used the allowance method of accounting for uncollectibles, with many of these companies estimating the uncollectibles through an aging of accounts receivable.

Journalize the adjustments that would have to be made on June 30 for the months of March through June, assuming the following estimates of uncollectibles:

Age of Accounts Receivable Percent Estimated Uncollectible

From current month 1%

From prior month 3%

From 2 months prior 4%

From 3 months prior 10%

From 4 months prior 30%

Help me journal entries for the July 2018 transactions.

Help me with a journal entry for the month-end adjustment, using the information from the table above.

Use the allowance method, which was used above, to record the following:

The balance sheet presentation of the accounts receivable for June and July 2018

The effect of the uncollectibles on the income statement for June and July 2018
