Answer:
A. dr. Bad Debt Expense 3,000 and cr. Allowance for Doubtful accounts 3,000
Explanation:
Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.
Closing Value of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be as follow
Closing Balance = $100,000 x 5% = $5,000
As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have credit balance of $2,000, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,000 at the year end.
Adjustment Value = $5,000 - $2,000 = $3,000
