Answer:
Given that,
Credit balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts = $2,700
Future uncollectible = $13,500
We need to deduct the credit balance from the amount of future uncollectible.
Bad debt expense:
= Future uncollectible - Credit balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $13,500 - $2,700
= $10,800
Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:
Bad debt expense A/c Dr. $10,800
To allowance for doubtful debts $10,800
(To record the allowance for uncollectible accounts)
