    Before passing the adjusting entry, first we have to compute the allowance for doubtful debts balance which is shown below:

    = Accounts receivable * estimated percentage - credit balance

    = $390,000 * 5% - $3,900

    = $19,500 - $3,900

    = $15,600

    Now the adjusting entry would be shown below:

    Bad debt A/c Dr $15,600

    To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c $15,600

    (Being adjusting entry is recorded)
