The bad debts expense for the year to be debited will be $600.

Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Accounts receivable * 2%

Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $25,000 x 2%

Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $500

Unadjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $100

Amount of bad debt expenses = Adjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts + Unadjusted balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Amount of bad debt expenses = $500 + $100

Amount of bad debt expenses = $600

Therefore, the bad debts expense for the year to be debited will be $600.
