    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)
