I'm feeling confident about C. The receivables might stay the same, but the profits are definitely going to take a hit since the company can't collect on that debt. Accountants, am I right? *laughs*

I think you're right, C seems like the most logical choice. The profits will definitely decrease without that payment.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between B and D, but I think I'll go with B. Gotta love those allowances for doubtful accounts, am I right? *winks*

I'm going with D. If the customer has gone into liquidation, the receivables would decrease and the profits would also decrease since the company won't be able to collect on that debt.

Option B seems like the correct answer here. The receivables would decrease as the customer is unable to pay, and the allowance for doubtful accounts would increase to account for the potential loss.

Yes, that makes sense. The allowance for doubtful accounts would need to increase to reflect the potential loss from the customer going into liquidation.
