During 2017, the company had charges to bad debt expense of $270,000 and wrote off, as uncollectible, accounts receivable of $120,000.

Answer:

$1,770,000

Explanation:

The computation of the accounts receivables before the allowance is shown below;

= Beginning account receivable balance + Bad debt expense - Uncollectible accounts receivables

= $1,620,000 + $270,000 - $120,000

= $1,770,000

Bad debt is an expense hence would be added, whereas the account receivable which is not yet collected should be deducted in the computation part.
