    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Allowance for uncollectible accounts balance January 1 = $260,000

    Accounts receivable Written off = $325,000

    Credit sales for 2013 = $9,000,000

    Percent of Credit sales uncollectible = 2%

    Allowance for uncollectible accounts balance December 31:

    = Allowance for uncollectible accounts balance January 1 - Written off + Bad debts expense

    = $260,000 - $325,000 + (,9000,000 * 2%)

    = $260,000 - $325,000 + $180,000

    = $115,000
