Answer:

The account receivable balance at 12/31/2019 is $990,000

Explanation:

Ending balance of allowance account = Beginning  allowance + Bad debt expense - Doubtful accounts written off + Amount collected on written off doubtful account

Ending balance of allowance account = $62,000 + $11,000 - $21,400 + $7,800

Ending balance of allowance account = $59,400

Accounts receivable balance at 12/31/2019 = $59,400 / 6%

=$990,000
