Answer 1

Answer: $23,040

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question and assuming the company recorded no write-offs or recoveries during 2019, the amount of Bad Debt Expense reported in 2019 will be the difference between the ending balance of the allowance account and the beginning balance of the allowance account. This will be:

= $126,400 - $103,360

= $23,040

Therefore, the correct answer is $23,040
