What are the difference in these two point & Why we treat differently in Revaluation A/C (in partnership question)

1) The Provision for bad debts was found to be in excess by Rs. 400

2) Provision for doutful debts to be increased by RS. 400

Sol:- First one take Cr. Side of Revaluation A/C (because of decrease in liability) & 2nd is taken on Dr. Side of Revaluation A/c (because of increase in liability )

my question is here both the two points are the same (1. ecxcess by rs. 400....2. increased by 400) then why we treat differently in revaluation A/C why we not take both of the points in Dr. side of Revaluation A/C (both the points are increasing doutful debts)

Please explain in detail............

Thank you

might be you interpret the question differently

1) Provision for bad debts was found to be in excess by Rs. 400 - that means you have to revalue it for decresing because you made excess provision previously.

2) Provision for doutful debts to be increased by RS. 400 - that means you have to revalue it for incresing because you made short provision previously.

Since, the accounting entry for both should be revealed differently.
