30. The matching principle requires use of the direct write-off method of accounting for bad debts.
31. The advantage of the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts is that it identifies the specific customers who do not pay their bills.
32. The accounts receivable method to estimate bad debts obtains the estimated balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in one of two ways: (1) the percent uncollectible from the total accounts receivable or (2) aging accounts receivable.
33.
The aging method of determining bad debts expense is based on the knowledge that the longer a receivable is past due, the lower the likelihood of collection.
