Provision for doubtful debts is ₹8000 and loss on debtors is ₹5000. What balance is distributable to partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹3000

A provision for doubtful debts is an amount set aside earlier to cover a possible loss from debtors. If the actual loss on debtors is less than the provision, the unused part of the provision is no longer needed for that loss. It becomes a surplus available for distribution among the partners according to their profit-sharing ratio.

The provision is ₹8,000 and the actual loss is ₹5,000. The unused balance is calculated as ₹8,000−₹5,000=₹3,000. Therefore, option A is correct, and this ₹3,000 is distributed among the partners in their agreed profit-sharing ratio. The answer is not ₹5,000 or ₹8,000 because those amounts ignore the corresponding adjustment for the actual loss.
