Solution Steps

To determine the total estimated uncollectibles at March 31, 2025, we will calculate the uncollectible amount for each age category of accounts receivable by multiplying the balance in each category by the estimated percentage uncollectible. Then, we will sum these amounts to get the total estimated uncollectibles.

Step 1: Calculate Estimated Uncollectibles for Each Age Category

We calculate the estimated uncollectibles for each age category using the formula:

\[ \text{Estimated Uncollectibles} = \text{Balance} \times \text{Estimated Percentage Uncollectible} \]

For each category, we have:

  • Current: \[ 68400 \times 0.02 = 1368.0 \]

  • 1-30 days past due: \[ 13700 \times 0.05 = 685.0 \]

  • 31-90 days past due: \[ 9700 \times 0.28 = 2716.0 \]

  • Over 90 days past due: \[ 6800 \times 0.49 = 3332.0 \]

Step 2: Sum the Estimated Uncollectibles

Next, we sum the estimated uncollectibles from all categories to find the total:

\[ \text{Total Estimated Uncollectibles} = 1368.0 + 685.0 + 2716.0 + 3332.0 = 8101.0 \]

Final Answer

The total estimated uncollectibles at March 31, 2025, is

\[ \boxed{8101.0} \]
