Respuesta :

Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Balance in Accounts Receivable = $5,300,000

Balance in the allowance account before adjustments at year-end (we are assuming credit balance) = $82,000

Estimated percentage of uncollectible accounts = 2%

Uncollectible accounts expense for 2018:

= Expected uncollectible accounts for 2018 - Balance in the allowance account

= ($5,300,000 × 2%) - $82,000

= $106,000 - $82,000

= $24,000
