7,80,000

Provision for bad debts is to be made equal to 5% of debtors, for this adjustment what journal entry will be recorded related to Revaluation A/c?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Required provision =8,00,000×5%=40,000= 8,00,000 \times 5\% = 40,000.

Existing provision =20,000= 20,000.

Only the increase of 40,000−20,000=20,00040,000 - 20,000 = 20,000 needs to be created. An increase in provision is a loss on revaluation.
