    hi! John
    help me in this question.

    On 31st march 2014, the balance on the receivables control account of P company is $425,700. The
    bookkeeper has identified that the following adjustments for receivables are required:
    Irrecoverable debt recovered $2,000
    Specific allowances $2,400
    It was decided that a further allowance for receivables of 2% should be made based on past events.
    The allowances for receivables on 1 april 2013 was$1,900.
    What was the receivables expense for the year ended 31 march 2014?
    $……………….

    It is ridiculous to waste your time attempting questions for which you do not have an answer. You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – they have answers and explanations.

    I assume that you have watched my free lectures on irrecoverable and doubtful debts, so tell me what answer you get for this question. Then I will tell you whether or not you are correct (and explain where you went wrong if you are not correct) 🙂
