Hogan Business Systems has a small number of sales on account but is mostly a cash business. Consequently, it uses the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts. During 2011 Hogan Business Systems earned \(\$ 32,000\) of cash revenue and \(\$ 8,000\) of revenue on account. Cash operating expenses were \(\$ 26,500\). After numerous attempts to collect a \(\$ 250\) account receivable from Sam Smart, the account was determined to be uncollectible in 2012.
Required

Record the effects of (1) cash revenue, (2) revenue on account, (3) cash expenses, and (4) write-off of the uncollectible account on the financial statements using a horizontal statements model like the one shown here.
