Question:
At the end of Yong's first year of business, he had been owed $70,000 and believed he would collect all but $3,000 of it. It is now the end of his second year of business. He is owed $90,000. Of that amount, $2,000 is from a customer who has told Yong the watches were stolen and they are not sure if they can pay. They are waiting to find out if their insurance will cover it. Yong does not know of any other specific amounts, but said that he expanded into a bunch of new markets, so he is worried that about $5,000 more may not pay.
What amounts should he show on his balance sheet for receivables and on his income statement as an expense for his second year financial statements?
