Canaday Ltd. has the following receivables balances ($M): Gross accounts receivable Bad-debt reserve Net accounts receivable $175 (3) $172 Two years ago a customer was approved for an unusually large credit sale of $7M over the objections of the credit and collections department. Shortly after the sale the customer's business began to deteriorate due to an unexpected recession. To date it has paid only $2M against the order despite the fact that it has consumed all of the material purchased. The collections department has worked diligently to collect the remaining $5M without success.
