Innovative Tech Incorporated $($ITI$)$ has been using the percentage of credit sales method to estimate bad debts. During

November, ITI sold services on account for $$160,000$ and estimated that $3/4$ of $1$ percent of those sales would be

uncollectible.

Receivable is $$80,000,$ aged as follows: $(1)1$ to $30$ days old, $$65,000$; $(2)31$ to $90$ days old, $$12,000$; and $(3)$ more

than $90$ days old, $$3,000.$ The average rate of uncollectibility for each age group is estimated to be $(1)12$ percent, $(2)$

$24$ percent, and $(3)48$ percent, respectively. Prepare a schedule to estimate an appropriate year$-$end balance for the

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.

Before the end$-$of$-$year adjusting entry is made, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $$1,100$ credit balance at

December $31.$ Prepare the December $31$ adjusting entry.
