    gn john moffat

    I am looking at the updated pilot questions. Question 2 of Section B

    Need a little explanation as to why 10 is subtracted under Admin.exp.

    ie (325+10 (W4) + 16 (W3)-10))

    I don’t know whose workings you have copied, but although the final answer is correct their workings are a bit odd 🙂

    The allowance is currently 10 and is to be increased to 5% of receivables i.e. to 16 (5% x 320).
    So the cost of increasing it is 16 – 10 = 6.
    So the total admin cost is 325 (from the trial balance) + 6 = 331
