Answer:

$4,710

Explanation:

The computation of bad debts expense adjusting entry is shown below:-

Bad debts expense adjusting entry = Sales + Uncollectible allowances - Balance in allowance for doubtful accounts

= ($1,175,000 × 0.5%) - $1,165

= $5,875 - $1,165

= $4,710

Therefore for computing the bad debts expense adjusting entry we simply applied the above formula.

The adjusting entry is shown below:-

Bad Debt A/c Dr, $4,710

     To Allowance for Doubtful Debts $4,710

(Being bad debt account is recorded)
