Answer:

The statement is True as well as correct

Explanation:

Allowance method is the financial term which is defined as the uncollectible accounts receivable procedure that reports the estimate of the bad debt expense in the same accounting or fiscal year as the sale.

Under this method, it is used to adjust the accounts receivable which appears on the balance sheet.

For example,

If the company has the credit sales of $800,000 in December and estimate that the 4% will be uncollectible. Then using this method, computing the uncollectible as:

Bad debt expense = Sales × Estimate uncollectible

= $800,000 × 4%

= $32,000

So, this estimate the bad debt expense rather than wait to see which customer will not able to collect.
