At the end of 2016, Sunland Company has accounts receivable of $653,700 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $24,200.

On January 24, 2017, it is learned that the company's receivable from Madonna Inc. is not collectible and therefore management authorizes a write-off of $4,245.

On March 4, 2017, Sunland Company receives payment of $4,245 in full from Madonna Inc.

Prepare the journal entry to record the write-off. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

    allowance for doubtful accounts 4,245 debit

    accounts receivables 4,245 credit

    --to record write-off of Madonna Inc account--

    Explanation:

    Prepare the journal entry to record the write-off.

    To record the write-off we will decrease both, the allowance and the accounts receivable for the amount we consider uncollectible. Under allowance method the company never uses bad debt expense at write-off it only does at year-end adjustment
