    write-off of collectible receivables under the direct write-off method.

    This is change in accounting estimate, the answer for the accounting treatment is “current income”.

    however, there is another choice on the question is “prospective treatment”. I see the accounting treatment for the change in accounting estimate is prospective treatment on wiley textbook.

    Can some please verify, which one should I choose.

    Thank you in advance!!

    Prospective would include making adjustments in current income I would think-current and future periods is what prospective means.
