If irrecoverable debt is simply
Given should I assume that it is written offThis is a question on control accounts, which are covered in a later lecture.
There is no point in practicing full questions until have you have finished studying all of the topics.
Very many questions in the exam (and therefore in the kit also) are testing more than one topic in the same question.
There obviously is an irrecoverable debt and an allowance for receivables in this question (and it is testing that you understand them) but it is mainly a control accounts question (and would have been better if they had put it in that section).
However, again, because so many questions are testing you on more than one topic, the Kit is to be used when you are revising, when you have finished studying all of the different topics.
