Answer:

$13,250

Explanation:

Data provided

Accounts receivable = $297,000

Allowance for uncollectible accounts =  $1,600 (credit)

Accounts receivable = 5%

The computation of uncollectible accounts is shown below:-

Accounts receivable × Accounts receivable - Allowance for uncollectible accounts

= ($297,000 × 5%) - $1,600

= $14,850 - $1,600

= $13,250

So, for computing the uncollectible accounts we applied the above formula.
