Accounts Receivable
The word “account receivable” means the payment is yet to be made for the work that is already done. Generally, each and every business sells its goods and services either in cash or in credit. So, when the goods are sold on credit account receivable arise which means the company is going to get the payment from its customer to whom the goods are sold on credit. Usually, the credit period may be for a very short period of time and in some rare cases it takes a year.

Solution :
Bad debt expense = Required balance in allowance account - Existing credit balance in allowance account
Net accounts receivables is computed as Gross receivables less balance of allowance for doubtful accounts
Bad debt expense in considered as operating expense, therefore comes before income from operations
Interest revenue is considered as non operating income therefore comes after income from operations.
