Allowance for doubtful accounts = Amount * Proportion expected to default = ( $384,500 * 0.004 ) + ( $187,600 * 0.015 ) + ( $41,800 * 0.085 ) + ( $21,400 * 0.200 ) = $12,185.
Post- adjustment balance in Perkinson's allowance for doubtful accounts will be equal to the proportion expected to default i.e. $12,185.
Current Allowance for doubtful accounts balance = Debit balance $7,446
Normally, Allowance for Doubtful accounts has a credit balance, therefore, to create allowance for doubtful accounts balance equal to $12,185 credit, adjustment entry will be passed by debiting bad debts expense account.
Bad debt expense for the year = Current balance in doubtful accounts - post adjustment balance required in doubtful accounts = $12,185 - (- $7,446) = $19,631
