Accounting Aug 06, 2020

Kingbird Company has recorded bad debt expense in the past at a rate of 1.5% of accounts receivable, based on an aging analysis. In 2020, Kingbird decides to increase its estimate to 2%. If the new rate had been used in prior years, cumulative bad debt expense would have been $362,400 instead of $271,800. In 2020, bad debt expense will be $108,800 instead of $81,600. If Kingbird's tax rate is 30%, what amount should it report as the cumulative effect of changing the estimated bad debt rate? (Do not leave any answer field blank. Enter 0 for amounts.)
