When a bank's loans are written off, then the bank's RESERVES SHRINK WHEREAS ITS DEBTS REMAINS THE SAME. Sometimes, due to unpleasant situations, banks are forced to write off loans which they hand lend out to borrowers and which the borrower are unable to repay.

Answer:
A. $35,000
Explanation:
The first $150,000 were invested in research and development of the product itself, not the patent. Thus, this amount should be debited to research and development expenses.
The only expenses directly related to the patent itself are the $20,000 spent on legal fees on January 2, 2017, and the $15,000 for legal fees in a successful defense of the patent on July 31, 2017.
Therefore, the total amount that should be debited to Patents (P) is:
P = $20,000 + $15,000 = $35,000

Answer:
$1,085,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending account receivable balance is shown below:
= Accounts receivable balance, 1/1/2016 + credit sales - sales returns - written off amount - Collections from customers
= $650,000 + $2,700,000 - $75,000 - $40,000 - $2,150,000
= $1,085,000
Since we have to find out the account receivable balance before allowances so we do not considered it.
