Colorado Rocky Cookie Company offers credit terms to its customers. At the end of 2021, accounts receivable totaled $665,000. The allowance method is used to account for uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $40,000 at the beginning of 2021 and $25,000 in receivables were written off during the year as uncollectible. Also, $2,000 in cash was received in December from a customer whose account previously had been written off. The company estimates bad debts by applying a percentage of 15% to accounts receivable at the end of the year.
