    A.$8,600

    Explanation:

    The journal entry to record the bad debt expense is shown below:

    Bad debt expense A/c Dr $8,600

    To Allowance for doubtful debts $8,600

    (Being bad debt expense is recorded)

    Since the bad debt expense is an expense so the same is recorded in the debit side of the balance sheet while the estimated uncollectible portion reduces the account receivable balance so we credited it
