Explanation:

"determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $5,150 at December 31, 2022."

We need to recognize as much bad debt as it need to leave the allowance balance on our expected uncollectible account.

balance for allowance before adjsutment:

beginning - write-off = unadjusted allowance

1,250 - 2,600 = -1,350

expected balance - unadjusted balance = adjustment

                5,150      - (-1,350)                     =  6,500

Bad debt expense                        6,500 debit

    Allowance for uncollectible account 6,500 credit
