(b) Instead of estimating uncollectible based on a percentage of receivables, assume Wilton prepares an aging schedule that estimates total uncollectible accounts at \(24,600. (Assume an allowance of \)2,400 credit.) Prepare the entry to record bad debt expenses.

BE7-5 (L03) Wilton, Inc. had net sales in 2017 of \(1,400,000.
