To record direct write-off of uncollectibles.
Explanation:
a) Accounts Receivable:
Beginning balance $140,000
Sales on credit 840,000
Cash receipts -670,000
Uncollectible -4,000
Ending balance $306,000
b) The direct write-off of the uncollectible accounts could have also been treated through the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by debiting the account before crediting it with the Uncollectible Expense account. Since there is no instruction to the contrary, we have used the direct method instead, for simplicity.
