    After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290

    Explanation:

    Arundel Company uses aging to estimate uncollectibles.

    Estimated uncollectibles = $250,000 x (1 - 99.5%) + $70,000 x (1 - 91%) + $30,000 x (1 - 73%) + $8,000 x (1 - 17%) = $1250 + $6,300 + $8,100 + $6,640 = $22,290

    The current unadjusted Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts balance is a debit balance of $2,000.

    Bad debt Expense = $22,290 + $2,000 = $24,290

    The adjusting entry:

    Debit Bad debt Expense $24,290

    Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $24,290

    After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290
