The answer is: $600

Explanation:

Ellison Inc.'s total sales for the year were $18,000. By the end of the year $12,000 had been paid in cash and $6,000 still remained as accounts receivable. Out of those $6,000, the credit manager estimates 10% will be be noncollectible, that amounts to $600 ($6,000 x 10%).
