    The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded is $12,240. Option A

    Explanation:

    Cash sales = $167,000

    Credit sales = $467,000

    Selling and administrative expenses = $127,000

    Sales returns and allowances = $47,000

    Gross profit = $507,000

    Accounts receivable = $275,000

    Sales discounts = $31,000

    Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance = $2,900

    Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' = $467,000 * 2%

    = $9,240

    Credit balance in the allowance account = $2,900

    Bad debts expense = Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' + Credit balance in the allowance account

    = $9,340 + $2,900

    = $12,240
