On 30 June, a provision for doubtful debts (5% of Trade Debtors ex GST)

will be made.

Calculating the base amount:

= $935 + $1,265 (do not include the credit)

= $2,200 less 10% GST

= $2,000.00 × 5%

= $100.00

Therefore, the following General Journal will be made:

June 30 Bad and Doubtful Debts (see Chart of

Accounts) 100.00

Provision for Doubtful Debts (see Chart

of Accounts) 100.00

GST made for doubtful debts.)

How to deal with debts written off is covered later in this workbook.

(extract only):

Account Name Dr Balance Cr Balance

Bank 17,765.00

Trade Debtors 1,870.00

Error 1:

On checking the original invoice, it has been discovered in June 2018 that the information on the cheque butt below is incorrect. The payment of $700 was actually for Advertising in the college magazine.

You are now required to make an appropriate journal entry to fix this mistake.

No: 614 6/7/17 To: Downs College For: School Fees for daughter

This cheque $700.00

This entry was allocated to the Drawings A/C and no GST.

This entry should have been allocated to Advertising with GST.

The cheque butt should have looked like this:

Checking the accuracy of your General Ledger

1. Does the Debit column equal the Credit column? If not, the

following errors could exist in your ledger.

• Incorrect calculation of the balance in the account

• Incorrect amount posted from the journal to the ledger

• Amount posted to the incorrect column in the ledger

• Incorrect balance written in the Trial Balance

• Balance written in the incorrect column in the Trial Balance

Tip: Calculate the difference between the debit and credit

column and look for an amount half or double this amount

– indicates amount on the wrong side.

2. Also view your accounts to make sure that the Ledger tells the

correct story about the business, e.g. you would not see Depreciation in the Bank Account.
