2. How will Heller Corporation report its accounts receivable on the balance sheet?

3. List everything that would happen if the company increased its estimate of % uncollectible for the over 90 days past due receivables to 12%.

4. Ignoring #3 (the change in uncollectible estimate) and assuming that the A/R has already been reported as in #2, list what would happen if the company learned that a customer owing $100 in the over 90 days past due receivables has filed for bankruptcy, and the Heller will be unable to collect the receivable.
