Answer:

Bad Debts (Dr.)                                               $18,000

                              Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (Cr.)          $18,000

Explanation:

When the management expects that it will not be able to collect a certain amount of receivable, it records Bad Debts in the Profit or Loss and a Credit entry to it is charged to contra-asset account known as "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts". It should be kept in mind that, at this stage it is only the expectation of management that the receivable from customers will not be collected. When the management is certain about the default of customer, it write-offs the Receivables. This is done by debiting Allowance for Doubtful Account and crediting Accounts Receivables. Write-off has no impact on the Net Realizable Value (Accounts Receivables - Allowance for Doubtful Account).

Thanks!
