Debtors are ₹100000. Bad debts of ₹6000 are written off and a 4 percent provision is required on the balance. What is the total revaluation loss?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹9760

Direct answer: The total revaluation loss is option A, ₹9,760. Start with debtors of ₹100,000. Bad debts of ₹6,000 are written off first, leaving ₹100,000−₹6,000=₹94,000. The required provision is 4% of this remaining balance: \(4/100\times ₹94,000=₹3,760\). Both the bad debts and the new provision are losses in revaluation, so total loss is ₹6,000+₹3,760=₹9,760. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹4,000, applies 4% to the wrong base and ignores bad debts. Option C, ₹10,000, does not follow the given calculation. Option D, ₹9,400, incorrectly treats the remaining debtors as the total loss. The important order is write off bad debts first, then calculate provision on the balance. Memory cue: reduce first, provide later.
