Answer:

Explanation:

Before passing the journal entry, we have to find out the bad debt expense amount which is shown below:

Bad debt expense = Account receivable balance × uncollectible percentage + debit uncollectible account balance

= $130,000 × 20% + $2,100

= $26,000 + $2,100

= $28,100

So, the journal entry would be

Bad debts expense A/c Dr $28,100

     To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $28,100

(Being uncollectible accounts is adjusted)
