Under the allowance method for uncollectible accounts, the write-off of a specific account will not affect total assets.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
A write-off decreases both the total Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by the same amount. Consequently, since the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra-asset account, the write-off of a specific account does not affect total assets.
