Solstice company, which uses the direct write-off method, determines on october 1 that it cannot collect $66,000 of its accounts receivable from its customer, p. moore. on october 30, p. moore unexpectedly pays his account in full to solstice company. record solstice’s entries for recovery of this bad debt.

The journal entry for recovery is shown below:

Explanation:

When the company, determine that it could not collect the amount, then the entry which should be recorded is:

Accounts receivable A/cDr  $66,000

            Bad debts expenseA/cCr  $66,000

But on October 30, the company received the full amount from the customer, then entry for recovery of the bad debt is as:

Cash A/cDr    $66,000

      Accounts Receivable A/cCr   $66,000

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
