3000 were to be written off and the correct entry would be dr. bad debts 3000 ce. Acc rec 3000 instead of 1. Dr. Provision for doubtful accounts 3000 Cr. Accounts Receivables 3000 and where did u get 3300?

Dear Brother,
Some companies maintain provision/allowance a/c and some do not. The entries you have made would have been correct if those were of the one's not maintaining the provision a/c. But whan provision account is maintained you will do the following: 0. Make a T account. 1. Op bal of provision is Cr. 6000 2. Bad debts W/o Dr. 3000 3. new Provision (6000*1.05) Dr. 6300 which will be the c/f figure. 4. the balancing fig is Cr. 3300 (which will be charged to IS as Bad debts) I hope this makes you understand.

Yes, this seems right.
Are you a professional accountant?
