Answer:

A. $800

Explanation:

Ana Co.

Sales                            $500,000        

Accounts Receivable    $40,000      

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $300  Credit

Bad Debts Expense = 2 % of $ 40,000=   $  800          

The adjusting entry would be

Bad Debts Expense $ 800 Dr.

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $800  Credit    

As we already have a credit balance of $ 300 in the doubtful accounts we will increase it with an amount of $ 500.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ 500 Debit

Account Receivable                     $ 500 Credit
