Requirement 4
a)
Estimated bad debt expense based on composite percent of credit sales—simple, not
costly to implement, and emphasizes that only credit sales cause bad debt losses.
Focus on the income statement and the matching principle. Primary disadvantage is
that it does not tend to compensate in the short-term for prior estimating errors.
b) Estimated bad debt expense based on net realizable value of accounts receivable and
a composite percent—simple, not costly to implement, emphasizes net realizable
value of the accounts receivable (rather than credit sales). Focuses on the balance
sheet and the definition of a current asset. It tends to compensate for prior estimating
errors in the short and long term. However, it does not directly consider aging.
c) Estimated bad debt expense based on net realizable value of accounts receivable—
emphasizes net realizable value of accounts receivable by age categories. Focuses
on the balance sheet and the definition of a current asset. Tends to compensate for
prior estimating errors in the short and long term. Allows for changes: other methods
work well when conditions are stable. Primary disadvantage is the time and cost
associated with preparing aging schedules.
