    The 9,300 should Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement

    Explanation:

    The non-collectible accounts expenses on its Year 2 income statement is shown below:

    = Ending balance + write off balance - opening balance

    = $6,000 + $7,200 - $3,900

    =$9,300

    The accounts receivable is not to be considered because we have to find out the uncollectible accounts expense, so the account receivable balance should not be taken in the computation part.

    Hence, the 9,300 should Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement
