Answer:

the amount of bad debt expense for the adjusting entry is $8,210

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of bad debt expense for the adjusting entry is shown below:

= Unadjusted trial balance × estimated percentage - credit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts

= $130,500 × 7% - $925

= $9,135 - $925

= $8,210

Hence, the amount of bad debt expense for the adjusting entry is $8,210
