    Explanation:

    The adjustment Mayberry Advertising would record to establish Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is as follows:

    Debit Bad Debt Expense $1,768

    Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $1,768

    Calculation: $22,100 * 8% = $1,768

    As there was no beginning debit or credit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts, we did not need to adjust the expense. Mayberry Advertising just added the amount in the expense section.
