I am a stuck on task 2.1 (e) making the adjustments in the extended trial balance.
Wainwright decides that £300 should be written off. The provision for doubtful debts should be 4% of the outstanding debtors.
Bad debts £1,220 DR
Provision for doubtful debts £3,200 CR
Is the adjustment 1,220 - 300 = 920
920 x 4% = 36.80
and then reduce the provision by £36.80?? to £3,163.20
Confused :confused1:

i think it should be (56550-1220-300)x4%=2201.2
prov for bad debts= 3200-2201.2=998.8, this figure should be in debit side of the adjustment for prov for bad debts.
i may be wrong0 -
Oh I see what you mean. But maybe you don't take the £1,220 off.
So is it (56,550-300) x 4% = 2250 and then the adjustment is:
3200 - 2250 = £950
Does someone have the answers for this exam?

what's your answer?0 -
I got stuck on this myself last year, what i found out is that on task 2.1 c, there is a missing invoice of £2350, which needs to be added to the PLCA of £31500 to give 33850. Meibaker's adjustments are correct, which will then balance.0
-
oh i see, thanks so much for your help.0
-
have you got the answer for prov. for bad debts adj.?
thanks0 -
I think with the invoice in question 2.1(c) give us the correct answer. Thanks Mike and Meibaker. This question really struggled my mind, I never more will find the answer without this invoice.
What is your answer for task 2.4 (a)
my answer is £6405
(B) loss £405
Task 2.5
(a) HM Revenue & Customers
(b) Explain how the VAT balance has been arrived at.
I am not sure about that, do I need to explain what are include in VAT Account?0 -
I'm a bit rusty on the bad debt prov, so i dont want to give you wrong advise, however there is a section on the students page of the main website, where there is a link to e-learning of unit 5, which covers this.
For the NBV, I make this £6515.25 as for the 2nd year only 7 months interest should be deducted, as it was sold on the 1st of August. This gives a loss of £515.25.
for 2.5 a is correct. For b) you mention about it being the difference between input and output vat.0 -
Hello Mikes,
Thanks for all your help.
I will explain how I calculated my task 2.4.
8400 x 15%=1260 (this is the year amount)
1260 / 12= 105 per month
Jan - Dez 2003= 1260
Jan - July 2004 = 735
1260 + 735= 1995
8400 - 1995 = 6405
6405 - 6000= 405
I don't understant what is wrong.0 -
Hi Imota,
I am so sorry, you are absolutly right with your calculations. I was using the reducing balance method with mine, ie by deducting the depreciation value from the cost for the 1st year and then calucating the 2nd year figure from the balance. I hope that you havent used my answer for your paper yet and i am sorry the confusion.
