  • The receipt on May 15 of $3,270 reduced the accounts receivable but increased cash. However, the write-off of $5,410 caused a reduction in both the allowance account and accounts receivable.
  • When there was a receipt of $6,530 on July 27, the accounts receivable would be reinstated and then adjusted for the cash receipt.
  • Lastly, the write-off of the uncollectible accounts from miscellaneous customers were added up to arrive at $13,330.
