Answer:

See explanation section.

Explanation:

December 31, 2017

Bad debt expense                        Debit      = $17,600

Allowance for Doubtful Account Credit     =  $17,600

To record the bad debt expense

Calculation: Bad debt expense = $250,000 × 8% = $20,000. However, we cannot take this amount because Allowance for Doubtful Account is a positive contra entry, which has a $2,400 credit balance. Therefore, we have to deduct $2,400 from $20,000 to get the actual bad debt expense.
