The amount worth $6,000 will be debited to the account in Year 2
Explanation:
When the uncollectible accounts are written off, then the debit is created to the allowance and the credit to the accounts receivable. The starting balance in the allowance account is $90,000 and the ending balance is $100,000 and the expense of bad debt is $16,000
The write off is computed as:
Write off = Beginning balance + Bad debt expense - Ending balance
= $90,000 + $16,000 - $100,000

= $6,000
Therefore, the amount of $6,000 is to be write off in Year 2
