The credit manager of Montour Fuel has gathered the following information about the company's accounts receivable and credit losses during the current year:  Uncollectible accounts expense is estimated at an amount equal to 2.5 percent of net credit sales. Uncollectible accounts expense is recognized by adjusting the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to the amount indicated in the year-end aging schedule. The balance in the allowance account at the beginning of the current year was $25,000. (Consider the effect of the write-offs during the year on the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.) The company uses the direct write-off method of accounting for uncollectible accounts. Prepare one journal entry summarizing the recognition of uncollectible accounts expense for the entire year under each of the above independent assumptions. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal entry required" in the first account field.)
