4. You have determined that Company X estimates bad debt expense with an aging of accounts receivable schedule. Company X's estimate of uncollectible receivables resulting from the aging analysis equals $250. The beginning balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $220. Write-offs of bad debts during the period were $180. What amount would be recorded as bad debt expense for the current period? a. $180 b. $250 c. $210 d. $220

a. $180

Explanation:

Bad debt expenses is generally classified as Administrative expense and hence it is included in the expense section of the income statement before the calculation of the Net Income.

From the question it is evident that the write offs during the period were $180 and hence the expense recorded in the Income statement as bad debt expense would be $180 because they are unrecoverable for the current period.

Hope this helps.
