Question. 2 In direct write off method we charge bad debt when we realise certain sum will not be received. In direct method we directly reduce receivable balance by the amount of bad debt. Under allowance method we create a reserve on the on the basis of sales or receivable to charge any future bad debts against that reserve.
a) Allowant for bad debts = 5% of 600000 = 30000
The reserve is already standing at 10000, so we need to create anddition reserve for 20000.

Bad debt 20000
