    The amount of bad debt expense for that period is $41240.

    Explanation:

    As the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has credit balance because it is a contra account receivable account. This account should have credit balance. As already account has debit balance so this balance needs to be added in the estimated uncollectible accounts for the period to calculate the bad debt expense for the period.

    Estimated uncollectible accounts = $33600

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Balance = $7640 debit

    Bad debt expense = $33600 + $7640 = $41240
