Year 1990

the Bad Debts Reserve appeared in the books of a firm at a figure of Rs.500
at the end the sundary debtors were 15000.

So 5% of 15000 is 750.

Means at the year end, dec 1990.. the bad debt reserve ko 500 se 750 tak leke aana hai. So entry ye bane gi

Dr profit and loss a/c 250
Cr bad debt reserve a/c 250

Ab bad debt reserve year end balance 750 hogaya.. jo next yea ka opening balance hoga.

Ab jan 1991

at the end the sundary debtors were 20000

so 5 % of 20000 is 1000

Means at the year end, dec 1991.. the bad debt reserve ko 750 se 1000 tak leke aana hai. So entry ye bane gi

Dr profit and loss a/c 250
Cr bad debt reserve a/c 250

Aur ab is year me 2.5% ka discount b hai so discount jo hai wo debtors me se bad debt reserve minus kar k phr nikalna hoga ..

Sundary debtors – bad debt reserve = amount * discount % = reserves for discount
20000 - 1000 = 19000 * 2.5% = 475

So entry is

Dr profit and loss a/c 475
Cr reserves for discount a/c 475

Jo ap k bold letters me words hain un k lie ye kahonga k

The bad debt reserves needed to be increased. This was because the provision was kept at 5%, but debtors had risen to 20000 (in year 1991) from 15000 (in year 1990). A provision of 1000( i.e. 5% of 20000). All that is now needed is a provision for extra 250.
