Accounts written off as uncollectible during 2017 $69,000
Accounts receivable at 12/31/17 $975,000

For the year ended December 31, 2017, XYZ's bad debt expense would be
$75,000.
$69,000.
$48,000.
$27,000.
Answer:
Option 4th is correct. i.e $27,000.
Ending allowance balance = beginning allowance balance + bad debt expenses - written off + recoveries |
( 975,000 - 900,000) = 102,000 + bad debt expenses - 69,000 + 15,000 |
Bad Debt Expenses = $27,000 |
