    Donnington Manufacturers commenced business on 1 June 1997 and during the first four years of trading, the following information was produced:

    Total debtors (before any adjustments)
    Bad debts to be written off

    £
    £
    Year to 31 May

    1998
    232,500
    9,500
    1999
    286,000
    11,000
    2000
    326,800
    12,800
    2001
    354,000
    18,000
    The business decided to create a provision for bad debts in the first year of trading representing 2% of year-end debtors and to maintain this percentage provision in future years.
    Show the relevant profit and loss account entries and balance sheet entries relating to the debtors of the business for each of the four years to 31 May 2001.

    You need to watch the free lecture on irrecoverable and doubtful debts.

    (I would also suggest that you use an up-to-date question book – we no longer use the terms ‘balance sheet’, ‘profit and loss account’, or ‘provision for bad debts’!)
