    a. Adjusting Entry for Uncollectible Accounts on December 31, 2021.

    Account title

    Allowance for uncollectible account $10000 (Debit)

    Accounts receivable $10000 (Credit)

    b. Write-off of accounts

    -Accounts receivable at end = $160000 - $110000 = $50000

    -Balance at beginning of 2022 in allowance account = $50000 * 25% = $12500

    Beginning balance in 2022 $12500

    Less: Write off - $10000

    Ending balance in 2022 $2500 (Credit)
