Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The direct writeoff method does not match revenues to expenses in the same period because it recognizes bad debt expense only when an account is actually determined to be uncollectible, which could be in a future period. This method does not estimate bad debt expense based on a percentage of sales or accounts receivable, which would better match expense to the period in which revenue is earned.
