FINAL ACCOUNT - Provision for Discount on Debtors & Creditors

12th BOOK KEEPING BY AJAYSANTHOSH MOURYA

1.1.13 Provision for Discount on Debtors
To motivate the debtors to make prompt payments, cash discount may be allowed to them. After providing provision for bad and doubtful debts, the remaining debtors are called as good debtors. They may pay their dues in time and avail themselves of the cash discount permissable. So a provision for discount on good debtors at a certain percentage may have to be created.
Example: The Trial Balance as on 31st March 2004 shows the following:
Sundry debtors       Rs. 45,000
Adjustment: Create 2% provision for discount on Debtors.

 
Example: The trial balance shows on 31.03.2004,
Sundry debtors      Rs. 85,000
Adjustments: Bad debts written off Rs. 5,000. Provide @ 5% provision for bad and doubtful debts and @ 2% provision for discount on debtors.

 
 
 
Provision for discount on debtors will be shown
i) on the debit side of Profit and Loss account and
ii) on the asset side of the Balance sheet by way of deduction from Sundry debtors (after deducting bad debts written off and provision for bad and doubtful debts).

1.1.14 Provision for Discount on Creditors
Similar to cash discount allowed to debtors, the firm may have a chance to receive the cash discount from the creditors for prompt payment. Provision for discount on Creditors is calculated at a certain percentage on Sundry Creditors.
Example: The Trial balance for the year ended 31st March, 2004 shows 
Sundry Creditors      Rs.50,000.
Adjustment:
Create a provision for discount on creditors @ 2%.


Provision for discount on creditors will be shown
i) on the credit side of Profit and Loss account and
ii) on the liabilities side of the Balance sheet by way of deduction from Sundry creditors.
