    D) $8,040

    Explanation:

    Credit Sales Method:

    Bad Debt Losses = 3% of Credit Sales

    Bad Debt Losses = 0.03 x $588,000

    Bad Debt Losses = $17,640

    Adjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

    Bad Debt Losses - (uncollectible accounts receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts)

    $17,640 - ($24,000 - $14,400)

    $17,640 - $9,600

    $8,040
