Answer: $42,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bad debt expense for the year will be the Estimated uncollectible amount less the credit balance of the Allowance for doubtful accounts.

= Estimated uncollectible accounts - Credit balance on Allowance for doubtful accounts

= 48,000 - 5,600

= $42,400
