Answer:

Tabor

The effect of the write-off of the bad debt or uncollectible is a reduction of the 2019 net income by $1,281.

Step-by-step explanation:

The write-off of the bad debt also reduces the Allowance for Bad Debts account balance and the Accounts Receivable balance in the account of Tabor by $1,281. The purpose is to accurately report Tabor's net income by taking into account all expenses and losses, just as all revenues and incomes must be accounted for. This gives a more accurate picture of Tabor's financial performance during the current financial period.
