Answer:

a. $4,191

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Number of days Receivables %  Uncollected amount

Current              $68,000    1%        $680

0-30 days      $26,300    5% $1,315

31-60 days      $6,560    10% $656

61-90 days      $3,320     25% $830

Over 90 days     $3,000      50% $1,500

Total             $107,180          $4,981

Now

Allowance for doubtful balance after write off =is

= $3,380 - $2,590 = $790

So,  

Uncollectible account expense  is

= $4,981 - $790

= $4,191
