Respuesta :

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

Allowance for uncollectible had a credit entry of 2% of $18,000000 being the approved uncollectible allowance. Hence $360,000(2%*18000000) is charged to the account after the account has been previously debited to the tune of $520,000 to take care of a write off of $650,000.
