Kindly help with this question
At the beginning of the firm's financial year debtors were 2100 & at the year end were 100 higher. During the year receipts from trade customers 10,000, bad debts 450, increase in provision for bad debts 100 & cash sales 250. What was the total sale during the year?
A- 8700 B- 10,450 C- 10,800 D- 10,650
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Please help!
The answer is C
If you prepare a receivables account, the opening balance is 2100. Debit with credit sales - missing figure. Credit with cash received - 10000. Credit with irrecoverable debts - 450. Closing balance - 2200.
The missing figure for credit sales is 10550.
Add the cash sales of 250.
Total sales - 10800
Thank you :)
