    The adjusting journal entry is as follows

    Bad Debts Expense Dr. $3,200

    To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $3,200

    (Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

    The computation is shown below:

    = Account receivable balance * estimated percentage - credit balance of allowance for doubtful debts

    = $100,000 * 4% - $800

    = $4,000 - $800

    = $3,200
