    Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Accounts Receivable = $300,000

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $4,200 (debit balance)

    Net sales = $3,600,000

    The Adjusting journal entry is as follows:

    Bad Debts Expense A/c Dr. $36,000

    To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $36,000

    (To record the estimate doubtful accounts)

    Working notes:

    Bad Debts Expense = 1 percent of net sales

    = 0.01 * $3,600,000

    = $36,000
