Question

Explanation / Answer

Due to reinstatement of accounts receivable the following journal entry is passed:

Accounts receivable Dr. $1050
Allowance for doubtful accounts Cr. 1050

On collection of this amount of reinstatement, the following journal entry is passed:

Cash Dr. 1050
Accounts receivable Cr. $1050

The combined effect of these two entries can be seen. There has been "zero" net effect on assets of this transaction. The operating cash flow has increased due to the cash collection.

The answer is Option D.
