    a. $4,180

    Explanation:

    Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

    Closing Value of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be as follow

    Closing Balance = $102,000 x 5% = $5,100

    As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have credit balance of $920, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,100 at the year end.

    Adjustment Value = $5,100 - $920 = $4,180
