Answer:

$367,250

Explanation:

Data provided

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $390,000

Credit balance = $22,750

The computation of the amount of the adjusting entry is shown below:-

Amount of adjusting entry = Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Credit balance

= $390,000 - $22,750

=$367,250

Therefore for computing the amount of adjusting entry we simply subtract credit balance from allowance for doubtful accounts.
