Credit Loss [Abstract] |
Credit Losses | (2) Credit Losses We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our trade receivables. We assess ability to pay for certain customers by conducting a credit review, which considers the customer’s established credit rating and our assessment of creditworthiness. We determine the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable using a combination of specific reserves for accounts that are deemed to exhibit credit loss indicators and general reserves that are determined using loss rates based on historical write-offs by geography and recent forecasted information, including underlying economic expectations. We update our estimate of credit loss reserves quarterly, considering recent write-offs and collections information and underlying economic expectations. Our allowance for credit losses was $175 million at May 31, 2020. Credit losses charged to expense for the quarters ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, were $143 million and $105 million, respectively. Our allowance for credit losses as of August 31, 2020 is $222 million.
