**EX 9-5 Entries to Write Off Accounts Receivable***Creative Solutions Company, a computer consulting firm, has decided to write off the $11,750 balance of an account owed by a customer, Will Treadwell.

It involves creating an allowance to match the anticipated loss with the revenue of the period in which it occurred.
