    Dear Tutor when we recover irrecoverable debt is this following journal entries are correct?

    1st(
    DR TR
    CR ID
    the following journal entry is

    DR Cash
    Credit Trade receivable

    is this the above right?

    2nd)

    When we recover the doubtful debt

    Dr Allowance for receivable
    CR Irrecoverable debt

    and the following entry

    Dr Bank
    Cr trade receivable

    is this above the right?

    If we receive money from a debt that has previously been written off as irrecoverable, the entry is
    Dr Cash
    Cr Irrecoverable debts expense

    If we receive money from a debt for which there is an allowance because it is doubtful, the entries are as you have written.

    I do explain all of this in my free lectures.
