A company receives payment for 20 % of its sales in the month of sale, 50 % in the following
month and 30 % two months after the month of sale.
The table shows sales for four months.
$
January 180 000
February 240 000
March 270 000
April 220 000
How much were total cash receipts in April?
A $220 000 B $228 000 C $249 000 D $251 000
If this is the question then the answer is $251 000
Calculation: (220 000*x 20/100) + ( 270 000x 50/100) + ( 240 000x30/100)
Reason : the sales of April were 220 000 and the question says that 20% is received in that month + the 50% for febs sale as specified in the ques + the 30% of feb!

A trial balance at 30 June, before making end of year adjustments, showed:
debit
$
credit
$
trade debtors 35 600 -
provision for doubtful debts - 1 160
At 30 June, it was decided to write off a bad debt of $1600 and to make a provision for doubtful
debts equal to 2 % of trade debtors.
What was the total expense in the profit and loss account for bad and doubtful debts for the year
ended 30 June?
A $680 B $1120 C $2080 D $2280
Calculation : provision for doubtful debts for the current year : (35600-1600)=34000 ---> trade debtors
2/100x 34000=680
reduction in provision= 1160-680= 480
Therefore amount charged in p/l : Add: reduction in provision 480
less: bad debts (1600)
Net amount : (1120)
Hope its clear now!

A business prepares its accounts to 31 December. Insurance premiums paid were:
date paid $
January 2006 paid for 6 months to 31 December 2005 940
July 2006 paid for 6 months to 30 June 2006 1120
January 2007 paid for 6 months to 31 December 2006 1245
March 2007 paid for 6 months to 30 June 2007 1880
Which amount should be shown in the profit and loss account for the year ended
31 December 2006?
A $1120 B $2060 C $2365 D $3305
Calculation : 1120+ 1245= 2365
Reason : The amount is needed for the year ending 20x6 and those are the only ones relating to it.
I am doing it for Q4
-
why r u subtracting the bad debt.
-
Because that debtor wont be paying anything so we cant provide provision on him too...! Its against the principle of matching.
