i was literally fuming at the fact i was unable to understand this concept. I came across a problem in my textbook regarding the aging method, and i was unable to figure it out and was losing my mind, so thank you much appreciated!

[@wallacegibson1142]

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!

i love you. thank you so much.

[@Edspira]

No problem my friend!

[@dylanblair4910]

I dont understand why you would have a debit in ADA if it is a contra asset. That would be like haveing a negative depreciation.

[@caaspyXbox]

THANK YOU

[@Edspira]

No problem!

[@davenorton4768]

There was a problem on the book on this method it was not clear thanks to you

[@hassanbazzi3545]

Perfect. Thank you

[@gabbymiller4510]

How are you determining the percentage of what is uncollectable?

[@anarchohouston9979]

Each company has their own estimates of what is uncollectable.

[@ConkShow]

this helped a ton! tyvm

[@Edspira]

Glad to help!

[@joejoerunya8908]

thank goodness for RUclips lol...man this was killing me

[@jdfromthed]

Thank YOU!

[@GetawayCarYT]

are the percent of estimated uncollectibles given in the problem or do we have to compute for them? Im having a hard time doing my homework since there were no percent of estimated uncollectibles given

[@icon818]

thank you sir

[@jattsaab6687]

Thnks 👍

[@krishangomes989]

what would happen if ADA starts at a greater number than the final number. What would the transaction be?

[@syedali-portfolio7457]

Hi prof.
But in real life scenario. How would we know what was already in T account ?
I mean how do we assume any number anyways in T account ? Please clarify..
TIA. :)

[@optimusprime6436]

I'm still stuck at how will I know if the ada is either in the debit or credit column of the T account?

[@Fatima-ky7dq]

Did you know yet?

[@pieissogood11]

my teachers notes where incorrect thank you for making this

[@precisioncpa1891]

What if AR balance decreased, shall I make no adjustment on allowance or debit allowance?

[@arjunarun9174]

How can ADA have a debit balance?

[@youarehere1251]

T Accounts always come through, got to back to the basic.

[@1stPersonStateConsciousness]

How do you get the percent amounts?!

[@FooserX]

How do you come up with the uncollectible rate?
I can't find this anywhere. lol

[@fairfieldify]

It's given in a problem/scenario.

[@JoseOrtega-rz1gr]

wait.. where the hell did you get 75,000 at 1:56?! that was never stated.. this is why i struggle

[@swnidh]

He’s making up numbers for an example try not to think too hard on where the numbers in examples come from just use what you have !

[@alanacollins7641]
