Brady is hired in 2021 to be the accountant for Anderson Manufacturing, a private company. At the end of 2021, the balance of Accounts Receivable is $29,000. In the past, Anderson has used only the direct write-off method to account for bad debts. Based on a detailed analysis of amounts owed, Brady believes the best estimate of future bad debts is $9,000. If Anderson continues to use the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts, what adjustment, if any, would Brady record at the end of 2021?
