Answer: The account is a temporary account.

Explanation: Allowance for doubtful accounts refers to the contra-asset accounts prepared to reflect the actual debtors that are expected to be paid.

Temporary accounts refers to those accounts the balance of which becomes zero at the end of the financial year due to the closing entries made. However, the allowance for doubtful accounts remain on the balance sheet if the expectancy of unpaid debtor remains as such.
