Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Amount of which adjusting entry required:

= Amount of uncollectible accounts - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts

= (Balance in accounts receivable × Estimated percentage of accounts receivable to be uncollectible) - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts

= ($200,000 × 4%) - $2,000

= $8,000 - $2,000

= $6,000

Therefore, the adjusting entry is as follows:

Bad debt expense A/c      Dr.  $6,000

To Allowance for uncollectible accounts    $6,000

(To record the bad debt expense)
