    Explanation:

    The journal entry for writing off the amount through using the Allowance Method is as:

    Allowance for Bad debts A/c ... Dr $300

    Accounts Receivable A/c ... Cr $300

    While writing off the amount of bad debt, the allowance for bad debts account is debited against the accounts receivable account.

    The journal entry which is to be recorded for reversing the write off through using the Allowance Method:

    Accounts Receivable A/c ... Dr $300

    Allowance for Bad debts A/c ... Cr $300
