Solutions

Expert Solution

1st fill in the blank: no bad

2nd fill in the blank: a gain

3rd fill in the blank: $8,600

Explanation:

This is the business Mr. B.

He paid = Face value × 75%

= 103,200 × 75%

= $77,400

He receives or collected = $86,000

Since the receiving is higher than payment, there is definitely a gain but no loss. Therefore, there is no bad debt deduction.

The amount of gain = Collection – Payment

= 86,000 – 77,400

= $8,600
