Moria Mining follows the GAAP guidance we learned in class. Mr. Gimli is trying to compare the financial statements of Moria Mining Co. to Legolas Co., but Legolas uses ELFN accounting principles. ELFN principles use the direct write-off method for credit losses, which means Legolas records bad debt expense when the company gives up on ever receiving payment from the customer and writes off the receivable. What would Moria Mining report as pre-tax income if it recorded bad debt expense at the time it wrote-off the receivable instead of the methods we studied in class?
