Answer:

The amount Swifty debited to the appropriate account in 2017 to write off actual bad debts: $25,800

Explanation:

Allowance for uncollectible accounts at the end of 2017 = Allowance for uncollectible accounts at the end of 2016 + Bad debt expense of 2017 - The amount of write off actual bad debts.

The amount of write off actual bad debts = Allowance for uncollectible accounts at the end of 2016 + Bad debt expense of 2017 - Allowance for uncollectible accounts at the end of 2017 = $180,500 + $32,800 - $187,500 = $25,800
