The company sells some products on credit to a customer X before 31 December 2010. At 31 December 2010 the company's management had no doubt about the customer X's ability to pay the outstanding trade receivable of $200,000. However, in February 2011, before the financial statements were authorized for issue, the company is informed that customer X is going into liquidation because it has significant debt, has virtually no cash inflows and its accounting records are poorly maintained. Because of this, the trade receivables are deemed worthless.
