Allowance for doubtful accounts balance on December 31, 2019 = Accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2019 - Net realizable value of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019
=194200-181000

Unadjusted Allowance for doubtful accounts balance on December 31, 2019 = Allowance for doubtful accounts balance on January 1, 2019 - Uncollectible accounts receivable written off during 2019
= $18200-13600
=$4600
Bad debt expense = Allowance for doubtful accounts balance on December 31, 2019 - Unadjusted Allowance for doubtful accounts balance on December 31, 2019
