Question

Accounting

You have been hired as a consultant by a parts manufacturing firm to provide advice as to the proper accounting methods the company should use in some key areas. In the area of receivables, the company president does not understand your recommendation to use the allowance method for uncollectible accounts. She stated, "Financial statements should be based on objective data rather than the guesswork required for the allowance method. Besides, since my uncollectibles are fairly constant from period to period, with significant variations occuring infrequently, the direct write off method is just as good as the allowance method."

Required:

Draft a one page response in the form of a memo to the president in support of your recommendation for the company to use the allowance method.

"Thank You"
