Lenox Corp. sold merchandise for $5,000 to M. Baxter on May 15, 2016, with payment due in 30 days. Subsequent to this, Baxter experienced cash-flow problems and was unable to pay its debt. On August 10, 2016, Lenox stopped trying to collect the outstanding receivable from Baxter and wrote off the account as uncollectible.

Baxter paid the entire amount due Lenox, with interest, on January 31, 2017. Lenox ends its accounting year on December 31 each year and uses the allowance method to account for bad debts. Required
