Debtors are ₹124000. Old provision ₹7000 is to be changed to 6 percent of debtors. What is the effect in Revaluation Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹440 debit

The direct answer is option B, ₹440 debit. A provision for doubtful debts is adjusted to the required new amount. New provision = 6% of ₹124000 = ₹124000 × 6/100 = ₹7440. The old provision is ₹7000, so the provision must increase by ₹7440 − ₹7000 = ₹440. An increase in provision is treated as an expense or loss and is debited to the Revaluation Account. Therefore the effect is ₹440 debit. Option A, ₹440 credit, reverses the effect; credit would be appropriate for a decrease in provision. Option B is correct. Option C, ₹7440 debit, records the entire new provision and ignores the existing ₹7000 provision. Option D, ₹7000 credit, records the old amount in the wrong direction. The key exam rule is to record only the adjustment amount, not the full revised provision.
