    The ending balance of the allowance account is $76,060

    Explanation:

    not yet due accounts = $580,000

    Bad Debts for not yet due accounts = $580,000*0.05 = $29,000.

    Accounts receivable due for up to 180 days = $140,000

    Bad Debts for accounts receivable > 180 days = $140,000*0.14 = $19,600.

    Accounts receivable due for more than 180 days = $91,000

    Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for more than 180 days = $91,000*0.26 = $23,660.

    Ending balance of Allowance account = Debit Balance of allowance account + bad debt for not yet due accounts received + bad debts for accounts receivable due up to 180 days + bad debts for accounts receivable due for more than 180 days.

    = $3,800+29,000+$19,600+$23,660

    = $76,060.
