Problem: Article: Before you bring your batteries in, make sure to call the facility for information on their hours, which types of batteries they take, and whether or not they charge a fee. This will help you save time and energy! Always be careful when you’re preparing to recycle old batteries. In case of any leaked acid or leftover charge, always handle them with latex gloves and avoid touching the ends, where the terminals are located. The batteries may still have a bit of charge left, so it’s important to separate the terminals, where the charge comes out of. To do this, you can either place each battery in a separate plastic bag or place a piece of clear tape over the terminal, or the small bump, on the top of the battery.  If 2 battery ends touch, the tape will help prevent sparking and lower fire risk.  Do not use opaque tape on the battery ends. Do not bag or tape any single-use alkaline batteries. Join a mail-in program and place a bucket or bin in the office mail-room. Have all of the employees tape and collect their dry-cell batteries in the bin, then mail them off once the container is full. If your office hasn’t signed up for a mail-in program, you can find some options at https://www.batterysolutions.com/store/. The fee for a mail-in program is usually a flat rate of around $60 per load, which lets you send in a large amount of batteries. Prices may vary depending on the type of battery you’re sending in.
Summary: Call ahead and confirm the details with the recycling location. Wear gloves and don’t touch the ends when handling old batteries. Bag or tape the tops of non-alkaline batteries before recycling. Set up a battery mail-in program in your office.

Problem: Article: If you want to, you can put the shirt on to determine the new length. Keep in mind that your shirt will be about ½ to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters) longer, depending on how wide the original hem is. Spread the shirt out on a flat, even surface, right-side-out. Use a ruler to measure up from the bottom edge of the shirt every so often. This will ensure that your shirt is the same length all the way around. If you can't find a dressmaker's chalk or pen, you can make the line using sewing pins instead; just be careful not to pin both sides of the shirt together. Keep folding your way all around the shirt. It should now be a little shorter than before. You are still folding on the outside of the shirt. Do not fold the hem on the inside. Use the zigzag stitch or the stretch stitch on your sewing machine. Make sure that your thread color closely matches your shirt. Keep your shirt right-side-out. You should now see the original hem, the hem's original stitching, and your new "seam" just above it. Focus on the new seam you made. This will flatten it, and make the bottom of your shirt smoother. If you'd like, you an secure the hem with sewing pins, although this is not necessary. Anywhere between ⅛ to 3/16-inch (3.2 to 4.3 millimeters) away will be plenty.Use a stretch stitch for this step, and be sure to go back and forth over the start and end of your sewing a few times to prevent unraveling.  Start sewing from one of the side seams. This will help hide the start and end of your sewing better. If you secured your hem with sewing pins, be sure to pull them out as you sew. Try to cut as close to your stitching as you can. Discard the excess material, or save it for another project. When you are done, go back over your shirt and snip off any excess or loose threads. Your shirt is now ready to wear.
Summary: Figure out how short you want your shirt to be, and make a mark on the outside of the shirt. Use a dressmaker's chalk or pen to draw a line all around the shirt at an even distance from the bottom edge. Fold the hem up until the bottom edge touches the line that you drew. Sew around shirt, as close to the selvage edge as you can. Fold hem back down, and tuck the excess fabric inside the shirt, away from the bottom of the hem. Press the hem with an iron. Top stitch as close to your seam as possible. Turn the shirt inside-out and cut the excess material away. Turn shirt right-side-out.

Problem: Article: To account for doubtful accounts, begin with your business's current and historical accounts receivable records. These should detail the business's various customers and their order amounts, along with whether or not those customers have paid for their orders in the past. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded before the actual accounts are (or are not) paid. This means that unlike your power bill or the cost of printer paper, you will not know what your actual doubtful debt expense will be. In other words, at the end of the period, you will have recorded all credit sales (sales not paid on delivery or in cash) in full, regardless of if they have been paid or not. Therefore, to record the credit sales that may not be paid for, you will have to estimate them beforehand, using one of several accounting methods.  There are several different ways to go about estimating this expense, including:  Using a percentage of total sales Using individual risk analysis Using a combination of the two   Which one is the best choice for your business depends on the makeup of your customer base. The ideal consumer base and estimation process for each method are explained in the following steps.
Summary:
Gather accounts receivable documents. Determine which estimation method to use.
