(A) Since both provision for uncollectible accounts and write-off occured within the same year, net income and current assets will both decrease. Had the provision occured in previous period/s and the company write-off the doubtful accounts this period, then there will be No effect to net income and TCA, hence a bad debt expense was already recognized the moment the said receivable became doubtful of collection (prior year/s). Reducing receivable and allowance for uncollectible accounts (clean-up of accounts) by the same amount (writing off) does affect the TCA.
