During Year 4, Tara wrote off $7,000 in receivables and recovered $4,000 that had been written off in prior years. Tara's December 31, Year 3, allowance for uncollectible accounts was $22,000. Under the aging method, what amount of allowance for uncollectible accounts should Tara report on December 31, Year 4?

$19,000.

Wrote off $7,000

recover $4,000

uncollected money stands at= 7,000-4,000= $3,000 in year 4

total uncollected money in year 3 is $22,000

then will be 22,000-3,000= $19,000
