2. Provision for Doubtful Debts

Debtors ₹50 000, bad debts ₹2 000, new provision 5%: provision = 5% × 48 000 = ₹2 400.

3. Others

  • Manager's commission on net profit before/after charging it.
  • Goods taken for personal use: reduce purchases, add to drawings.
  • Abnormal loss: credit Trading, debit P&L (less insurance claim).

4. Key Points

  • Adjustments given outside the TB are shown twice.
  • Items inside the TB appear once.
  • Commission after charge: NP × rate / (100 + rate).
  • Accrual concept underlies adjustments.

Remember: Adjustment table | provision for doubtful debts | manager's commission
