    b. $105,000

    Explanation:

    Beginning allowance for uncollectible accounts = $180,000

    Uncollectible written off = $210,000

    Allowance for the year 20X7 = Credit sales * 3%

    = $4,500,000 * 3%

    = $135,000

    Allowance for uncollectible accounts = $180,000 - $210,000 + $135,000

    = $105,000

    Therefore, The amount that Gear should report as allowance for uncollectible accounts is $105,000.
