two years ago a customer, GHI company, was approved for an unusally large credit sale of $5m. Recently the customer's business began to deteriorate due to the pandemic. To date it has paid only $2m against the order despite the fact that it has consumed all of the material purchased. The collections department has worked diligently to collet the remaining $3m without success. The GHI filed for bankruptcy this morning with essentially no assets to pay a large number of creditors. Evaluate the financial statement impact of the bankruptcy on the company. Assume our product cost is 40% of revenue and the bad debt reserve of $2m will be fully reestablished.
