    Answer: $47,200

    Explanation:

    Accounts receivable not yet due = $560,000

    Bad Debts for accounts receivable not yet due:

    = $560,000 * 0.01

    = $5,600.

    Accounts receivable due for up-to 180 days = $120,000

    Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for up-to 180 days:

    = $120,000 * 0.16

    = $19,200.

    Accounts receivable due for more than 180 days = $99,000

    Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for more than 180 days:

    = $99,000 * 0.20

    = $19,800

    Ending balance of Allowance account:

    = Debit Balance of allowance account + $5,600 + $19,200 + $19,800

    = $2,600 + $5,600 + $19,200 + $19,800

    = $47,200
