Several of Debbies customers typically buy on credit. As of end of Y1, her ending accounts receivables are $450,000. Industry data shows that she will not collect 6% of the receivables. Additionally, one of Debbies customers went through bankruptcy in Y1 and Debbie could no longer collect a receivable of $17,000. Debbie uses the allowance method for GAAP and the direct write-off method for tax.
