Determination of Adjusting Entry for Uncollectible Accounts:**\[ \text{Adjusting Entry Amount} = \text{Estimated Allowance for Doubtful Accounts} - \text{Current Debit Balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts} \]\[ \text{Adjusting Entry Amount} = \$29,300 - \$7,500 \]**b. Adjusted Balances:**- **Accounts Receivable:**\[ \text{Accounts Receivable} = \$820,000 \]- **Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:**\[ \text{Adjusted Balance} = \$29,300 \]- **Bad Debt Expense:**\[ \text{Bad Debt Expense} = \$21,800 \] > This represents the amount of the adjusting entry determined in step (a).**c. Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable:**\[ \text{Net Realizable Value} = \text{Accounts Receivable} - \text{Adjusted Allowance for Doubtful Accounts} \]\[ \text{Net Realizable Value} = \$820,000 - \$29,300 \]#### Diagram DescriptionWhile the image does not contain graphs or diagrams, the provided calculations and explanations help portray the detailed steps and resulting figures.
