Answer:

Oracle Corporation report as bad debt expense for the year: $118 million

Explanation:

allowance at the end of the year - allowance at the beginning of the year + accounts written off during the year = bad debt expense for the year

$296 million - $323 million + $145 million = $118 million

The accounts written off during the year increase the expense because they are uncollectible so there were removed from a receivable account in the general ledger. The way to do so is:

A credit to Accounts Receivable, and a debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
