Answer:

$12,900

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of accounts receivable written off during the year

Beginning Balance $5,600

Add Bad debt expense $12,000

(2% x $600,000)

Less End-of-year balance ($4,700)

Accounts receivable written off $12,900

($5,600+$12,000+$4,700)

Therefore the amount of accounts receivable written off during the year will be $12,900
