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

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
