Explanation:

a) Allowance for Doubtful is an amount that is estimated which may not be recovered from customers for services rendered.  This allowance is made in order to provide for losses that may arise from credit sales.  The estimated allowance is 45% of the Accounts Receivable Balance at the end of the year.

b) When a write-off of debts occurs, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is adjusted with the direct write-off to reduce the balance.
