    The adjusting entry is shown below:

    Bad debt expense A/c Dr $19,750

    To Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $19,750

    (Being the bad debt expense is adjusted)

    The computation of the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is shown below:

    = Accounts receivable * estimated percentage + debit balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts

    = $119,000 * 15% + $1,900

    = $17,850 + $1,900

    = $19,750
