Solution

To calculate the Bad Debt Expense for 2021, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Start with the beginning balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. For 2021, this is $25 million (the ending balance from 2020).

  2. Add the write-offs for 2021. According to the information given, the write-offs for 2021 were 1million.So,1 million. So, 25 million + 1million=1 million = 26 million.

  3. Subtract this total from the ending balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for 2021. The ending balance for 2021 is 35million.So,35 million. So, 35 million - 26million=26 million = 9 million.

Therefore, the Bad Debt Expense for 2021 is $9 million.
