Solution
Ah Chong
The figure for trade receivables on the statement of financial position at the year end should be –
Option a. RM101,038
Explanation – trade receivables RM103,100
Provision for doubtful debts – 2% x 103,100 = RM2,062
Net trade receivables on the statement of financial position at the year-end = RM101,038
The amount of RM6,500 is bad debts expense, which is written off against the provision for doubtful debts. This amount does not affect the trade receivables balance.
