Tutorial question

Problem 12.13

All transactions below relate to Biancardi Construction Ltd’s uncollectable accounts for the
financial year ended 30 June 2019. Assume Biancardi Construction Ltd is registered for GST.

The Accounts Receivable account had a balance at 30 June 2019 of $189,200, and the
beginning (1 July 2018) balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Debts account was $9,300 Cr.

Required
(a) Prepare journal entries for each of the transactions.
(b) Determine:
i. the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Debts account after the 30 June
adjustment
ii. the expected realisable value of the accounts receivable as at 30 June.
(c) Assume that instead of basing the allowance for doubtful debts on net credit sales, the
estimate of uncollectable accounts is based on an ageing of accounts receivable and that
$11,630 (excluding GST) of the accounts receivable as at 30 June was estimated to be
uncollectable. Determine:
i. the general journal entry to bring the allowance account to the desired balance
ii. the expected realisable value of the accounts receivable as at 30 June.
