Solution

The age of receivables that should be assigned a higher percentage when estimating the amount of uncollectibles is "over 60 days". This is because the longer an account receivable is outstanding, the less likely it is to be collected. Therefore, accounts that have been outstanding for over 60 days are at a higher risk of becoming uncollectible.
