    Bad Debts Expense $ 2740 Debit

    Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 2740 Credit

    Explanation:

    Warner Company

    Accounts receivable $105,000,

    Allowance for doubtful accounts $660 (credit),

    Sales $340,000

    Uncollectibles are estimated to be 1% of sales.

    Uncollectibles of 1% of sales means that after adjusting entry is passed the uncollectible amount must be $3400 (1% of $340,000).

    We have a credit balance of $ 660

    The debit balance in the Allowance for doubtful accounts must be $ 3400.

    The adjustment will be = $3400 - $660 = $ 2740

    The Adjusting Entry will be

    Bad Debts Expense $ 2740 Debit

    Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 2740 Credit
