Explanation:

We need to do the journal for each transactions:

the sales credit sales revenue and debit accounts receivable which is an assets.

Then, we do the cost of good sold which are expenses thus, debited and the inventory decreases as the goods we sold leave the ccompany we transfer the ownership to the customer.

Then we collect and decrease accounts receivable and increase cash.

As the company usesd the allowance method It will recognize bad debt expense at year-end when doing a write-off will debit the allowance.

2014:

before adjusting Account receivable balance

1,345,600 - 18,400 wrote-off - 666,500 collected = 660,700

estimated 1.5% as uncollectible:

660,700 x 1.5% = 9.910,5‬

current allwoance balance: 18,400 debit

adjusmtent: 18,400 + 9.910,5‬ = 28.310,5‬

2015:

before adjusting Account receivable balance

660,700 beginning  + 1,524,200 sales - 27,000 wrote off - 1,200,200 receivables = 957.700‬

estimated 1.5% as uncollectible:

957,700 x 1.5% = 14,365.5

allowance adjusting entry:

14,365.5  - (28,310.5 - 27,000 ) = 13.055‬
