c. Uncollectible accounts are estimated to be $111,000.

Explanation:

Given that

Sales = $55,50,000

Expected percentage = 2%

The computation of given question is given below:-

Expected uncollectible amount = Sales * Expected percentage

= $55,50,000 * 2%

= $111,000

Therefore for computing the Expected uncollectible amount we simply multiply the sales with expected percentage.
