答案
B. Uncollectible account is also called doubtful account.
解析
本题主要考查会计学中关于应收账款、坏账处理等相关概念的知识。解题思路是对每个选项所涉及的会计概念进行准确分析和判断。
- 选项A:
- 直接核销法(Specific write - off method)是在实际发生坏账时才将其确认为费用。这种方法简单直接,但不符合权责发生制原则,因为它没有在赊销发生时就预估可能的坏账损失。
- 备抵法(Allowance method)是在期末根据一定的方法预估可能的坏账损失,计提坏账准备。这种方法符合权责发生制原则,能更准确地反映企业的财务状况和经营成果。所以备抵法通常优于直接核销法,选项A错误。
- 选项B:
- 无法收回的账款(Uncollectible account)和可疑账款(doubtful account)本质上都指的是企业可能无法收回的应收账款。可疑账款是在评估后认为有较大可能无法收回的账款,当最终确定无法收回时就成为了无法收回的账款。所以“Uncollectible account is also called doubtful account”表述正确,选项B正确。
- 选项C:
- 应收账款(Accounts receivable)是企业因销售商品、提供劳务等经营活动应收取的款项,通常没有正式的书面凭证,其收回主要依赖于企业与客户之间的商业信用。
- 应收票据(Notes receivable)是企业持有的、尚未到期兑现的商业票据,是一种正式的债权凭证,具有更强的法律效力和约束力。所以应收票据比应收账款更具约束力,选项C错误。
- 选项D:
- 应收账款是企业在销售商品或提供劳务过程中形成的债权,是由于正常的经营活动产生的。
- 当企业向他人出借资金时,通常会形成其他应收款(Other receivables),而不是应收账款。所以选项D错误。
