(a) Adjusted figure of Sundry debtors

 
Your Debtors Bal.                                54000 
Less – Provision for bad debts                 5200 - Ans. Of (b)
Less- Provision for Discount                   4680 - Ans. Of (d)   
Less- Additional Bad Debts                      1000
Less – Effects of 4 & 5 adj                     1000
                                                           -------
                        Balance                         42120

 

(b) Provision for bad debts

 First we calculate Provision for Bad Debts
 
Your sundry Dr. after adjusting Bad Debts of 4000 is 54000
 
Addition to that we have to writing off Rs.1000
 
So the bal of Dr is now 53000
 
Adjustment no. 4 & 5 will also reduce the balance of Dr.
So now we have the bal. of Dr. is Rs 52000

c) Amount to be transferred from P&L a/c to Provision for bad debts

 
As per Adj. no 1 we have to provide for bad & doubtful debts @ 10% of debtors
So 10% of 52000 is Rs.5200
 
Now already we have made provision of Rs.4000 so to make it Rs.5200 we have to trf. Rs.1200 (5200-4000) from P&L a/c

(d) Provision for discount on Debtors


 


Now we calculate provision for discount on Dr.


            Your Dr Bal is                                   54000             


            Less – Provision for bad  debts      5200 ( 4000 + 1200 )                                                           


           Less- Additional Bad Debts             1000 ( Not adjusted before)


            Less – Effects of 4 & 5 adj               1000


                                                                        --------


                                    Balance                        46800


On that we have to provide 10% i.e. 46800*10%=4680


 

(e) Amount to be transferred from P&L A/c to Provision for discount on debtors

We have already made a provision of Rs.2000 so the balance will be transferred from P&l a/c i.e. 4680-2000=2680
