Students should communicate the following ideas.
Under the allowance method,
– Future bad debts are estimated.
Under the direct write-off method,
– Future bad debts are not estimated.
The difference between the two methods is in the timing of recording the bad debt
(time of estimation vs. when actually occurring). Over an extended period of time, the
two will approximately equal. However, in a given year, the difference can be large.
