    Credit balance of $12,000

    Explanation:

    To calculate the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts we need to multiply the total accounts receivable times the percentage of estimated bad debts:

    $160,000 x 7.5% = $12,000

    Since allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account, when it increases it should be credited.
