Solution

To calculate the amount that will be written off as irrecoverable by Paula's Pottery Ltd, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Understand the total amount owed: The customer owes $1,000 to Paula's Pottery Ltd.

  2. Determine the payment capacity of the customer: The customer has stated that they can only pay 30 cents for every dollar they owe. This means they can pay 30% of the total amount owed.

  3. Calculate the amount the customer can pay: 30% of 1,000is1,000 is 300. This is calculated by multiplying $1,000 by 0.30 (which is the decimal equivalent of 30%).

  4. Determine the amount that will be written off as irrecoverable: The amount that will be written off is the total amount owed minus the amount the customer can pay. So, 1,0001,000 - 300 = $700.

Therefore, Paula's Pottery Ltd will write off $700 as irrecoverable.
