Answer:
A) Records estimated bad debts expense in the period when the related sales are recorded.
C) Reports accounts receivable on the balance sheet at the estimated amount of cash to be collected
Explanation:
The allowance method of accounting for bad debts calculates and records bad debt expense on the same period as the products or services were sold.
While the direct write-off method records bad debt expense only after the account has been deemed uncollectible. This may happen during the same sales period or later.
