    Answer: Option (d)

    Explanation:

    Under this case the write off will be as follow:

    Debit Credit

    Allowance for doubtful accounts 25,200

    Accounts receivables 25,200

    Here, in this case the Allowance for the doubtful accounts and Accounts receivables are further decreased as the outcome of the transaction made. Thus, there will be no further effect on working capital. Therefore the $30,000 that is bad debt would then be stated as the credit to allowance account. This will then decrease the working capital by $30,000.
