    Bad debt expense $6,000

    To Account receivable $6,000

    (being the bad debt expense is recorded)

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is shown below

    Bad debt expense $6,000

    To Account receivable $6,000

    (being the bad debt expense is recorded)

    Using the direct write-off method the uncollectible amount is treated as a bad debt for the particular year in which year they are write off

    Hence, the $6,000 be treated as a bad debt expense

    Plus recording this transaction we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it reduced the asset account so the account receivable would be credited
