Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
(a) a $415 credit balance before the adjustment.
Bad debt expense A/c Dr $685
To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $685
(Being bad debt expense recorded)
Since the allowance for doubtful debts have a credit balance so this amount will be deducted. The computation is shown below?:
= (Outstanding accounts receivable × uncollectible rate) - credit balance
= ($55,000 × 2%) - $415
= $1,100 - $415
= $685
(b) a $291 debit balance before the adjustment.
Bad debt expense A/c Dr $1,391
To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $1,391
(Being bad debt expense recorded)
Since the allowance for doubtful debts have a debit balance so this amount will be added. The computation is shown below?:

= ($55,000 × 2%) + $291
= $1,100 -+$291
= $1,391
