Problem
D Trucking uses the accrual method of accounting. Below is a reconciliation of D Trucking's allowance for bad debts for the current year.
Beginning allowance for bad debts $61,150
Actual write-offs of accounts receivable during the year (80,000)
Addition to allowance 88,500
Ending allowance for bad debts $69,650
Considering the difference between the GAAP and the tax rules for accounting for bad debts, calculate D Trucking's temporary excess of taxable income over book income.
