Answer 1

Answer:

Bad-debt a/c debit Rs 2400 Credit Debtors A/c Rs 2400

Explanation:

As debtors already declared insolvent. It is clear that Rs 2400 ( Rs 6000 X 0.40) is bad --debt and can not be recovered.

Provide for @ 5 % for Bad-debt reserve is irrelevant as already provided for bad-debt and other debtors details not provided.
