Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Debtors = Rs.40000

Provision on dubtful debts = 4000 that is 10 % of Debtors

Debtors = 40000

(-) Bad debts= 6000

                                     

                         34000  

Provision on Doubtful debts = 10 % of 34000 = 3400

So, the Provision on doubtful debts debited to Revaluationary A/c is 3400
