    The adjusting entry shall be

    Doubtful Accounts Expense Debit $ 26,125

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Credit $ 26,125

    Explanation:

    In the question an evaluation was made on the required balance of allowance for doubtful accounts. This determination id done considering the ageing and quality of receivables.

    Any shortfall in the Allowance for doubtful accounts is made up by debiting the Doubtful Accounts expense. Hence the differential between $ 28,215 and $ 2,090 is recorded as a year end adjustment.
