题目解答
答案
D. Uncollectible account is also called doubtful account.
解析
本题考查应收账款和应收票据的概念、坏账处理方法以及坏账相关术语的知识。解题思路是对每个选项所涉及的知识点进行分析,判断其正确性。
- 选项A:
- 应收账款(Accounts receivable)是企业因销售商品、提供劳务等经营活动,应向购货单位或接受劳务单位收取的款项,通常没有正式的书面凭证。
- 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,具有更强的法律法律约束力。
- 所以应收票据比应收账款更具约束力,选项A错误。
- 选项B:
- 当把钱借给别人钱时,通常会形成应收票据(如果有正式的票据)或者其他形式的债权,而应收账款主要是因销售商品或提供劳务产生的。
- 所以选项B错误。
- 选项C:
- 直接核销法(Specific write - off method)是在实际发生坏账时,直接将坏账损失计入当期损益。这种方法简单,但不符合权责发生制和配比原则,不能在资产负债表上真实反映应收账款的可收回金额。
- 备抵法(Allowance method)是在期末估计可能发生的坏账损失,计提坏账准备,当实际发生坏账时,冲减已计提的坏账准备。这种方法符合权责发生制和配比原则,能更合理地反映应收账款的实际价值。
- 所以备抵法比直接核销法更优,选项C错误。
- 选项D:
- 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,只是表述略有不同。
- 所以选项D正确。
