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

4      172,000 ×   1.12^(-4) =  109,309.11  

5       423,000 ×  1.12^(-5)=  <u>240,021.56  </u>

Total Present Value             519,495.12  

Initial cost                             <u>(215,000)</u>

Net Present Value                 <u>304,495.12 </u>

Net Present Value = $ 304,495.12
