    The journal entry is as follows:

    On August 31,

    Bad expense A/c Dr. $53,482

    To Allowance for doubtful accounts $53,482

    (To record the adjustment entry to increase allowance for doubtful accounts)

    Working notes:

    Allowance for doubtful accounts:

    = Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at August 31 - Allowance for doubtful accounts before adjustment on August 31

    = $67,697 - $14,215

    = $53,482
