After reading Metlocks financial statements, you conclude that the company had a very successful first year of operations. However, after further examination, you note that the sales figure on the income statement was not adjusted for a bad debt expense. You also realize that a large percentage of Metlocks sales were to three customers, one of which, Litzenberger Supply, is in very questionable financial health, although still in business. Litzenberger owes Metlock $47,000 as of the end of 2017. (a1) Adjust the financial statements of Metlock Company to reflect a more conservative reporting with respect to bad debts. That is, establish a provision for the uncollectibility of Litzenbergers account. Recompute net income. (Enter loss using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -2,945 or parentheses e.g. (2,945).)
