    Explanation: from the above question, the inability of management to collect any outstanding debt from a customer after a particular time frame is termed a bad debt and it can be written off the books of the company.

    From the question above, management determined that it will not be able to collect the $1,200 owed to it by one of its customers.

    To write this amount off the books,

    Debit : Account receivable $1,200

    Credit: bad debit written off $1,200

    The bad debt written off is an expense account where the amount uncollectible is expensed from the books of the company.
