    c. Uncollectible accounts are estimated to be $111,000.

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Sales = $55,50,000

    Expected percentage = 2%

    The computation of given question is given below:-

    Expected uncollectible amount = Sales * Expected percentage

    = $55,50,000 * 2%

    = $111,000

    Therefore for computing the Expected uncollectible amount we simply multiply the sales with expected percentage.
