    Option (d) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Total accounts receivable = $500,000

    Credit balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $2,000

    Estimates uncollectible accounts:

    = 3% of accounts receivable

    = 0.03 * $500,000

    = $15,000

    The closing balance after adjustment is the latest estimates:

    = 3% of accounts receivable

    = $15,000

    $15,000 includes both the opening credit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts worth of $2,000 and the current year adjustment of $13,000.
