    Account receivable 320,000 debit

    Allowance 600 credit

    Sales 900,000

    1% incollectible:

    900,000 x 1% = 9,000

    The adjusting entry will be for 9,000

    As the allowance is calculated for sales of the period, we expected 9,000 during the next period will become uncollectible. We need to recognize the full amount now, or later on, on a different period, we will be generating dab debt expense for this prior period.

    Doing the full amount matches the period of the sales, with the uncollectible that could arise from these sales
