The question I need help with is at the end but the information below is to help to get the answer for Dec 31: Based on the aging of accounts receivable, estimated uncollectible accounts as 3,800.

Requirement 1. Record the transactions in the journal and post to the Allowance for uncollectible accounts and Bad debt expense ledger accounts that have been opened for you. These accounts have beginning balances of

$2,400

(cr.) and $0, respectively. Remember to update account balances but ignore posting references.

Begin by recording the transactions in the journal. (Record debits first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal entries.)

Jan 17: Sold inventory to

Otton Gomez,

$1,100

on account. Ignore cost of goods sold.

Journal Entry

Jan	17	Accounts receivable - Otton Gomez	1,100
		Sales revenue		1,100

Jun 29: Wrote off the

Otton Gomez

account as uncollectible after repeated efforts to collect from him.

Aug 6: Received

$350

from

Otton Gomez,

along with a letter stating his intention to pay within 30 days. Reinstated his account in full.

Begin by preparing the entry to reinstate the account. (Do not record the receipt of cash, this will be recorded in the next entry.)

Journal Entry

Now prepare the entry for the receipt of

$350

Otton Gomez.
