    The correct answer is B

    Explanation:

    The amount which will Farley report as an allowance for uncollectible accounts in the balance sheet is computed as:

    Uncollectible amount from sales = Sales * Percentage of credit sales which is uncollectible

    where

    Sales is $19,800,000

    Percentage of credit sales which is uncollectible is 3%

    Putting the values above:

    = $19,800,000 * 3%

    = $5,94,000

    Total uncollectible amount = Uncollectible amount from sales + Credit balance of uncollectible - Amount wrote off

    = $5,94,000 + $526,000 - $637,000

    = $11,20,000 - $637,000

    = $483,000
