Trevorson Electronics is a small company privately owned by Jon Trevorson, an electrician who installs wiring in new homes. Because the companys financial statements are prepared only for tax purposes, Jon uses the direct write-off method. During 2015, its first year of operations, Trevorson Electronics sold $31,800 of services on account. The company collected $26,900 of these receivables during the year, and Jon believed that the remaining $4,900 was fully collectible. In 2016, Jon discovered that none of the $4,900 would be collected, so he wrote off the entire amount. To make matters worse, Jon sold only $6,350 of services during the year.
