    Explanation:

    December 31 Bad debt expense Debit $910 (Note-1)

    Allowance of doubtful accounts Credit $910

    As the Uncollectibles are estimated to be 1.50% of accounts receivable, total uncollectibles are = $104,000 * 1.50% = $1560.

    As the Allowance of doubtful accounts is a contra-entry (Credit side) and has a positive balance of $650, we have to reduce that $650 from $1,560 to adjust the income statement balance.
