Bad Debt Expenses for the year:

= Total estimated uncollectible + Debit balance in Allowance for Doubtful accounts

= $10,000 + $2,000

= $12,000

Therefore,

The adjusted journal entry is as follows:

Bad Debt Expense A/c Dr. $12,000

To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c $12,000

(Being the Journal entry passed to record the Allowance for doubtful accounts)
