Answer:

the bad debt expense is $6,830

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the bad debt expense is shown below:

= Estimated uncollectible amount + debit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts

= $6,300 + $530

= $6,830

Hence, the bad debt expense is $6,830

We simply added the above amount as it represent the bad debt amount

The same is to be considered
