Explanation:

To determine the answer we need to preoare a movemnet of the account for uncollectible account.

Opening balance - Allowance for uncollectible accounts           $ 180,000

Add: Bad debt expense for the year                                             $   21,000  

Available balance of Allowance for uncollectible accounts        $  201,000
