    Balance in allowance = $480,000

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Receivable totaling = $6 million

    Credit = $30 million

    Now the uncollectible amount is

    = $6,000,000 * 8%

    = $480,000

    After adjustment, the amount is

    = $480,000 + $24,000

    = $504,000

    Now the Adjusting entry is:

    Ba debts expense $504,000

    To allowance for doubtful debts $504,000

    (Being the bad debt expense is recorded)
