Hi, I am trying to prepare journal entries on the topic of bad debts expense and allowance for doubtful accounts. Here is the question:

At the beginning of 2016, Miyazaki Companys Accounts Receivable balance was $105,000, and the balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $1,950. Miyazakis sales in 2016 were $787,500, 80% of which were on credit. Collections on account during the year were $502,500. The company wrote off $3,000 of uncollectible accounts during the year.

Prepare journal entries to recognize bad debts assuming that (a) bad debts expense is 3% of credit sales and (b) amounts expected to be uncollectible are 6% of the year-end accounts receivable.
