    One of the debtor owing RM620 was declared bankrupt and amount has to be written off as bad debt.

    Bad debt: RM1900
    How to calculate it and what cost I have to write in SOPL and SOFP

    The question as you have typed it makes no sense at all!
    I assume that “Bad debt: RM1900” means that there is already an expense of 1900 for the year and now they are writing off an additional irrecoverable debt?

    If so, then increase the expense by 620 (for the SOPL) and reduce receivables by 620 (in the SOFP).

    Have you watched my free lectures on irrecoverable and doubtful debts? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well. You cannot expect me to type out all my lectures here 🙂
