Question - Our company uses the percentage of receivables method to estimate bad debt expense for the year. We had the following account balances on our unadjusted trial balance at the end of the year (December 31): accounts receivable, debit balance of $150,000; allowance for bad debts, debit balance of $1,000. We estimate that 3.5% of accounts receivable at the end of the year are uncollectible. What will be the balance in allowance for bad debts after the adjusting entry is recorded?
