Part 3
Writing off the account receivable in 2016 will not directly affect year 2016
net income. The entry to write off an account involves a debit to Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable, both of which
are balance sheet accounts. Net income is affected only by the annual
recognition of the estimated bad debts expense, which is journalized as an
adjusting entry. Net income for Year 2015 (the year of the original sale)
included an estimated expense for write–offs such as this one.
