Advanced Research Pty Ltd opened a nation wide Management Consultants business back in 2007. They use the Net Credit Sales method for estimating Doubtful Debts and it appears that 3% of Credit Sales will not be collected this year. There was a balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Debts ledger account on 1 July, 2021 of $464 670.

On 29 October, 2021 a customer B. Plunger who owed Advanced Research Pty Ltd $49 150 officially went Bankrupt and was written off as a Bad Debt. On the 10 March, 2022 his fixed assets were sold and B. Plunger only managed to pay back $29 670 of the total debt he originally owed to the firm.
