Answer:

$22,700

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount did Coronado debit to the appropriate account in 2020 to write off actual bad debts

Allowance for Uncollectible at the end of 2019= $180,000

Allowance for Uncollectible at the end 2020= $186,500

Bad debt exp Expense = $29,200

Write off of actual bad debt = $180,000 + $29,200 - $186,500

Write off of actual bad debt= $22,700

Therefore the amount that Coronado debit to the appropriate account in 2020 to write off actual bad debts will be $22,700
