    Valuation account = $80,000

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Valuation allowance is treated as a provision for doubtful debts.

    Given:

    Total Deferred tax asset = $160,000 * 50% = $80,000

    Total benefited Deferred tax asset = $160,000 * 50% = $80,000

    Computation of Valuation account:

    Valuation account = Total Deferred tax asset - Total benefited Deferred tax asset

    Valuation account = $160,000 - $80,000

    Valuation account = $80,000
