Bad Debt Expense
Allowance
Method
Direct Write-off
Method
2018:
$38,875
$0
Under the allowance method, we record bad debt expense in the period we estimate
them (2018) so net income would be lower under the allowance method in 2018.
Under the direct write-off method, we record bad debts when they actually occur
