Respuesta :

Answer:

$2,300

Explanation:

Given that,

Allowance for Bad Debts, at beginning =   $1,300

Current period bad debts expenses = $2,800

Written off during the period = $1,800

Therefore,

Allowance for bad debts, at year end:

= Allowance for bad debts, at beginning + Current period bad debts expenses - Written off during the period

= $1,300 + $2,800 - $1,800

= $2,300
