Answer:

Bad Debt Expense = $652

Explanation:

Ending balance [Un-adjusted) = Beginning balance + Credit sales - Cash collected  - Written off

Ending balance [Un-adjusted) = $40,000 + $80,000 - $78,200 - $500

Ending balance [Un-adjusted) = $41,300

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts = Beginning balance - Written off

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts = $1,500 - $500

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts = $1,000

Adjusted amount required = $41,300 × 4%

Adjusted amount required = $1,652 Credit

Un-adjusted balance available = $ 1000 Credit

Bad Debt Expense = Adjusted amount required - Un-adjusted balance available

Bad Debt Expense = $1,652 - $1,000

Bad Debt Expense = $652
