Answer:
$2,500
Explanation:
Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.
Estimated allowance for doubtful accounts = Credit Sales x percentage = $300,000 x 1% = $3,000
Current Balance = $500 credit
As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have credit balance of $500, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $3,000 at the year end.
Adjustment Value = $3,000 - $500 = $2,500
