Answer / dr. sarveshwar pande
If any additional Bad debts is to be written off, then this would be deducted from the debtors figure. Next the provision of 5% would be computed on the debtors figure which would now give the adjusted figure for debtors.
Eg. Bad debts in Trial balance is Rs100. Debtors in Trial balance were Rs5,200. Additional details: 1) Write off additional bad debts Rs200. 2) Provide a provision for Doubtful debts @ 5%.
Step 1: Debtors - New Bad debts only (Rs5,200 - Rs200 = Rs5,000)
Step 2: Provide 5% on New Debtors (5% of Rs5,000 = Rs250)
Step 3: Bad debts in P& L would be (Rs100+Rs200 = Rs300)
Step 4: Doubtful debts in P& L would be Rs250
Step 5: Debtors in Balance sheet would be:( Rs5,000-Rs250 = Rs4,750)

Why Copyrights,patents,goodwill etc.etc. falls under real account and not nominal or personal account? I know anything which affect trading & Profit & Loss accounts are nominal accounts.And the above do not affect the Trading or P/L accounts but on the other hand they are intangible and neither can they fall under real accounts as Real accounts are those that are not personal and they are tangible. Again in another way if we see, Patents, Copyright ,Goodwill etc. etc. kindoff acts as a representative of a person or a company like in the same way as a Bank or Company name,so they can they not fall under Personal Account??
