From inception of operations, Axis Company carried no allowance for doubtful
accounts.

Uncollectible accounts were expensed as written off and recoveries were credited
to income as collected.

During 2022, management recognized that the accounting policy with respect to doubtful
accounts was not correct and determned that an allowance for doubtful accounts was
necessary.

A policy was established to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on


historical bad debt loss percentage applied to year- end accounts receivable.

The historical bad debt loss percentage is to be recomputed each year based on all
available past years up to a maximum of five years.
