Answer:

The amount of the adjusting entry to record  the provision of doubtful accounts  = $700

Explanation:

Allowance for doubtful accounts (before adjustment) = $500

sales = $600000

uncollected accounts expenses ( bad debit ) = 2% of sales

                                                                            = 0.02 * $600000

                ∴ estimated bad debit                           = $1200

The amount to be adjusted ( the amount of the adjusting entry to record the provision for doubtful accounts )

= ( estimated bad debit - allowance before adjustment )

=  $1200 - $500

= $700
