    Allowance for uncollectible accounts 15,000 debit

    Acounts Receivables 15,000 credit

    Acounts Receivables 15,000 credit

    Allowance for uncollectible accounts 15,000 credit

    Cash 15,000 debit

    Accounts Receivables 15,000 credit

    bad dent expense 830 debit

    Allowance for uncollectible accounts 830 credit

    Explanation:

    We decrease both, teh allowance and account receivables to leave the net amount of A/R the same

    Then, we reverse that entry as we recovery the account

    Last, we proceed to record the collection of the account like any other.

    The adjusting entry will recognize the bad debt expense against the allowance to decrease the net receivables
