Answer:

$3900

Step-by-step explanation:

Balance in allowance for uncollectible account$ 900

Add Bad debts during the period $3,000

($75,000*4%)

Ending Balance in allowance for uncollectible account$ 3,900

($900+$3,000)

Therefore the ending balance of the allowance account after the year-end adjustment is $3900
