Explanation:

On January 24, during the write-off, Ivanhoe Co. should debit accounts receivable and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $6,300. This is to reduce the amount of accounts receivable along with its contra asset account. Upon recovery of the written off accounts receivable, Ivanhoe should set up first the reversal of previously written-off accounts. That is to debit accounts receivable and credit allowance for doubtful accounts on same amount of $6,300. Then, you record the collection of payment from Megan Gray. Debit cash and credit accounts receivable in the amount of $6,300.
