Credit Account for Doubtful Accounts by $24,000 on Dec 31.

Explanation:

Opening credit balance as on 1 January = $21,000

Net credit sales for the year = $800,000

Amount of Un-collectible accounts written off = $25,000

Closing balance of accounts receivable = $300,000

Balance of doubtful debts = $300,000 8% = $24,000

Since amount written off as accounts written of for doubtful debts = $25,000

Thus opening balance is fully used of $21,000 and $4,000 is expenses directly the balance is 0 in allowance for Doubtful Debts account.

Therefore, for current year amount credited to Allowance for Doubtful Debts Account = $24,000.
