Answer: $520,000

Explanation:

A bad debt expense occurs when an economic entity which could be an individual or firm cannot collect a receivable because the said customer can't meet their obligations anymore.

The amount of bad debt expense recognized for the year will be the outstanding accounts receivable at year end multiplied by the percentage of uncollectible outstanding receivables. This will be:

= 8% × $6,500,000

= 8/100 × $6,500,000

= 0.08 × $6,500,000

= $520,000
