anaday Ltd. has the following receivables balances ($M):
Gross accounts receivable $ 172
Bad-debt reserve (3)
Net accounts receivable $ 169
Two years ago a customer was approved for an unusually large credit sale of $7M over the objections of the credit and collections department. Shortly after the sale, the customer's business began to deteriorate due to an unexpected recession. To date it has paid only $1M against the order despite the fact that it has consumed all of the material purchased. The collections department has worked diligently to collect the remaining $6M without success. The customer filed for bankruptcy this morning with essentially no assets to pay a large number of creditors. Evaluate the financial statement impact of the bankruptcy on Canaday. Assume Canaday's product cost is 40% of revenue and the bad-debt reserve of $3M will be fully reestablished. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000.
