Dec. 31st. Wrote off the following accounts as uncollectable $2,150, $3600, $5500, $1750.
Dec 31st Based on analysis of the $815,240 accounts receivable, it was estimated $16,750 uncollectable.




From question; what is the Bad Debt Expense adjustment on December 31st?

$19,850
$20,150

The answer is either 29,750 or 3,750 depending on when the analysis was performed in relation to the write offs.
