    c. $1,700

    Explanation:

    The computation of balance in Allowance for Bad Debts is shown below:-

    Beginning Allowance for bad debts = $800

    Current period bad debts expenses = $2,600

    Written off during the period = $1,700

    Allowance for bad debts, at year end = Beginning Allowance for bad debts + Current period bad debts expenses - Written off during the period

    = $800 + $2,600 - $1,700

    = $1,700

    Therefore for computing the Allowance for bad debts, at year end we simply applied the above formula.
