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.

Part 2
Analysis Component: When a business pledges its receivables as security
for a loan and the loan is still outstanding at period-end, the business must
disclose this information in notes to its financial statements. This is a
requirement because the business has committed a portion of its assets to
cover a specific portion of its liabilities, which means that if the business
dishonors its obligations under the loan, the creditor can claim the amount
of receivables identified in the pledge as collateral to cover the loan. This
arrangement must be disclosed to satisfy the full-disclosure principle.
