    Allowance for doubtful account adjustment
    I have
    A/R 250000 (DR SIDE)
    ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNT 15000 ( CR SIDE)

    Question
    Customer owing 6000 dollars declared bankrupt
    Estimate of uncollectible accounts is 3% of a/R

    I already did
    Allowance for doubtful account $ 6000 ( DR
    A/R $ 6000 CR

    But next part 3% uncollectible or A/R
    Remaining Bal in A/R is 244000
    If I take 3% it should be 7320
    But I have $ 15000 CR in my ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNT

    How and where I should adjust.
