Answer 1

1. Calculation of Cash balance as per books: (balance of bank A/c in the books)

2. Allowance of Doubtful Accounts:

3. Opening Balance of Allowance for Bad debt = $ 180,000
Closing Balance of Allowance for Bad debt = $ 160,000
Net Debit = $ 20,000

Bad debt expense debited to P&L A/c = $7,000

Thus, amount debited to appropriate account = $ 20,000

4. Year-end balance of allowance for doubtful accounts = 6% of outstanding receivables = 0.06 * 2,300,000 = 138,000.
Opening balance of allowance for doubtful accounts = $ 38,000

Expense for the year = $ 138,000 - $ 38,000 = $ 100,000
