What is bad debt expense for 2021?

$90,000

Explanation:

Given data

Net credit sales = $6,000,000

The estimated bad debt percentage is 1.50%

Credit balance in  allowance for uncollectible accounts = $42,000

Adjusted balance = $40,000

The computation of the bad debt expense is shown below:

= Net credit sales × estimated bad debt percentage

= $6,000,000 × 1.50%

= $90,000

By multiplying the net credit sales with the estimated bad debt percentage we get the bad debt expense and the same is applied in the above calculation
