Jilson Company uses the aging method of estimating bad debts as of December 31, the end of the fiscal year. Terms of sales are net 30 days. While in the process of completing the aging schedule, the accountant became ill and was unable to finish the job.

I need to figure out how to do the following:

1. enter the balance forward balances and complete the aging schedule

2. complete the table for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts

3. record the adjusting entry in general journal form.

The accountants report, as she left it, is as follows:

balance forward 389,900 249,200 76,280 38,848 15,032 10,540
