Answer:

correct option is $750

Explanation:

solution

we know here that Net balance of opening accounts receivable is

Net balance of opening accounts receivable = $30000 - $500

Net balance of opening accounts receivable = $29500

and

Credit sales during the year is here $7500 0

and Cash payments received = 74550

so

uncollecectible account expenses = credit sales × % of sale uncollectible

so uncollecectible account expenses = $75000 × 1%

uncollecectible account expenses  = $750

so correct option is $750
