Answer:

a. Adjusting entry is the bad debt expense:

= Sales * Percent of sales for bad debt

= 2,770,000 * 1.1%

= $‭30,470‬‭

b.

Accounts Receivable will remain the same as it has already been adjusted for bad debt = $615,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= Bad debt + Credit balance

= 30,470 + 5,500

= $35,970

Bad Debt Expense = $30,470
