Hi can any one please tell me few things:
1: if in trial balance sundry debtors are not given and only bad debts is given and in adjustment provision for bad debt is to be created at 5% and while solving if I take 55 of bad debts than d difference comes and if I do not consider the entry dan the balance sheet matches.
2: Sales include goods worth Rs.75000 sent out to Shanti& co. on approval and remaining unsold. The cost of the goods was Rs.50000
What I have done is: less sales by 75000
Less debtors by 75000
Add closing stock 50000 in trading a/c and balance sheet.
