    The amount of $50,000 will be reported as an allowance for uncollectible accounts for the Year 2 on December 31 in the balance sheet.

    Explanation:

    Under the approach of the balance sheet, the ending balance of the allowance for the uncollectibe accounts is the percentage (%) of the ending balance of the accounts receivable.

    The amount of uncollectible accounts should reflect the aggregate nedded ending balance of the allowance which amounts to $50,000.

    Therefore, the $50,000 is the amount to be uncollectible.
