    a. $ 34,000

    Explanation:

    The entry when the company wrote off uncollectible accounts:

    Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $16,000

    Credit Uncollectible accounts $16,000

    At the end of 2007, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts before adjusting trial balance: $90,000-$16,000 = $74,000

    The company estimates bad debts based on outstanding receivable accounts. So, the amount of Bad debts expense for 2007 should be:

    $108,000 - $74,000 = $34,000

    The entry will be record:

    Debit Bad debts expense $34,000
