Im sure pretty sure, thats what I did also!
did ure tb balance0 -
Got TB to 175,195 (I think, stuck in my mind for some reason) I deducted prov for b/d from debtors.0
-
I think my TB was somewhere aroudn 175185 i think, so greggman were either both wrong or both right, because we are close to the same mark
Haha, what did people get for the discount and for the VAT0 -
That 175 rings a bell,0
-
I think my tb was around that figure as well. I messed the stock up I know that but I balanced!!!! God I can't remember what I got fot VAT or discounts.
Oh I want to see the answer now lol0 -
i think for VAT i got 1800 discounts im not sure on though0

Again section one caused problems!
I managed 2 post accounts better, but trial balance never balances with me

Section 2 was a breeze though, and i got £100,000 profit as well :001_smile:
I also had 2 technician exams this week!
Finished now, i have my life back until results in Feb!

i think that is what I put
I think it should be Dr Bad debts
Cr Provison for bad debts0 -
I debited Doubtful Debts Adjustment, credited Provision for Doubtful Debts.
645 if memory serves?0 -
It was described as a provision for bad debt tho' rather than bad debt written off?0

-
i could have done it that way round but i know i used them 2 accounts0

Provision for bad debt is reducing your debtors, making assumptions that not all of your debtors will pay, therefore you credit SLCA and debit provision for bad debt.0

You are not true. Provision is alwas credit.Provision for bad debt is reducing your debtors, making assumptions that not all of your debtors will pay, therefore you credit SLCA and debit provision for bad debt.
Bad debts are reducing your debtors so when you have a Bad debtd Dr then you Cr SLCA0 -

Wont that mean that you are actually writing off the bad debt though if you Dr bad debts and Cr provison?
Or if you DR debtors and Cr provision then your increasing your debtors which isnt right?0 -
If you DR debtors and Cr provision you are increasing debtors but at the same time you assume they won't pay. That does not make sense. I've come across the following:
either DR Bad debts CR SLCA - meaning they won't pay, writing bad debts off
or DR Bad debts CR Provision for bad debts - meaning you're not sure whether they'll pay.0 -

The last one makes more sense than the first but we have always been told to DR provision and CR SLCA therefore reducing your debtors to what you think will pay and putting the provision for bad debt into its own account :S0 -
Also I don't think adjustment was involved as prior no provision for b/d existed?0

DAW1986 is correct as far as I have been taught. As you are creating a general provision for you debt, we were asked to take 5% of debt not bad debt co you credit the SLCA as this is where the figure has come from, then obv dr provision0 -
I think when you say provision u think bad debts then we both are right, but this is writing the bad debt off but in a question we were to make a provision so I don't think you should get SLCA involved. Anyway I didn't. Let's just hope we get precious pointsThe last one makes more sense than the first but we have always been told to DR provision and CR SLCA therefore reducing your debtors to what you think will pay and putting the provision for bad debt into its own account :S0 -
Yeah if you credit your provision for bad debt isnt that saying that your going to recieve 645 worth of bad debt? CR is generally income, if you were reducing the provision it would be credit wouldnt it?
AHHH Im getting confused now0 -

the provision is created from the debt amount ie debtors/slca......slca is involved and so should be credited, as your are reducing this to a level of debt you beleive you will receive in full0 -
Eventually in Balance sheet that's what you'll get. SLCA minus Provision for doubtful debts which same to crediting SLCAsteveborner wrote: »DAW1986 is correct as far as I have been taught.

The Provision for Doubtful Debts goes to the Balance sheet, reducing the figure of your debtors (the credit being a reduction in an asset). The Doubtful Debts Adjustment goes to the P&L as an expense.
Or that's how I've always understood it.0 -
That's what i did anyway Steve:thumbup1:0
