    Explanation:

    Ordinarily, When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.

    To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i. e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

    Where a debit that had previously been determined to have gone bad gets settled, debit cash and credit bad debt expense.

    However, these entries are posted directly between the bad debt expense account and the accounts receivable if the company uses the direct write off method.
