Journal Entry:
Bad Debt A/c Dr $9,000
To Credit Allowance for Bad & Doubtful A/c $9,000
(Being the Bad debt A/c is recorded)
The computation for bad debts are given below:
Bad debts = Uncollectible Amount - Credit balance in Allowance for doubtful A/c
Where,
Uncollectible Amount = $12,000
Credit balance in Allowance for doubtful A/c = $3,000
By putting the value we get,
= $12,000 - $3,000
= $9,000
