    Bad debt expense for Coolwear Inc. would be calculated by

    = Uncollectible Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    =[ ($213,100 X 6%) - $3,720] = $9,066

    The journal entry to record bad debt expense on December 31, 2017 would be,

    Account Title Debit Credit

    Bad Debt Expense ... 9,066

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ... 9,066
