My doubt is regarding specific provision of Doubtful Debts/

Q) On 1/11/1999, Lin Yew's Provision for doubtful debts account had a balance of  $3500.

This was made up of a general provision of $2000, which was 2% of all his debtors and a further expected loss of $1500, the total amount owed by Lau Chuen, who had been declared bankrupt.

on 30/01/2000,  Lin Yew received payment from Lau Chuen of $0.30 in the $ in final settlement of the debt.The remainder  of the debt is written off.

<>For the year ended 31/10/2000, prepare the necessary Ledgers.

Tanx in advance.

Ledger entries for Provision for bad debts A/c:
1. firstly write the balance of 3500 on the credit side as bal b/f
2. then calculate the provision: 2000*2% =200
3. transfer this amount to the debit side as P/L A/C
4. close the account by writing of the difference between both sides, where the difference is coming on the debit side with the amount of 3300.
5. carry that amount to the next year


Ledger entries for Bad debts A/c:
we have to write out the remainder of bad debt that was written off as after a month Lau Chuen decided to pay (0.30 of 1500) in final settlement of his debt. So the remaining amount of (0.70 of 1500) will still be considered as a bad debt.

transfer that bad debt amount of (1500x0.70)=1050 on the debit side along with the debtor's name Lin Yew. Done

just a correction in bad debt a/c
  debtor name lau cheun
and in the credit side entry  -  P/L  1050
 and then show the balancing of account

^ I think you have to have total every individual's bad debts amount and transfer them in the P/L A/C and not one by one. In the question there are two more bad debts to be written off followed by Lau Chuen

[fireburner]

^ yes that's correct but i suggest you read the whole question

ok im stuck in a q too.

its from depreciaiton

i'm writing down just an extract of the question:

i.Fixed assets at cost as at 1 may 2003 were:

Office equipment 100000

ii. Provision for depreciaiton as at 1 may 2003:

Office equipment 38000

iii.On 1 Nov 2003 office equipment costing 36000, paid by cheque was purchased. No disposal of office equipment took place during the year ended 30 april 3004. All office equipment held at April 2004 had been purchased since 1996

v.depreciation policy:
office equipment 10% straight line

depreciation is applied from the date an asset is brought until it is sold

I just need to know how to make the provision for depreciation of the office eqiupment.

On cr side-
Bal b/d=38000
P&L A/c=11800

on Dr side-
Bal c/d=49800
----------------------------------------------
#include also  transaction dates.
100000*10%=10000
36000*10%=3600  for 6months=1800
10000+1800=11800
