Actual discount allowed (already given): ₹5,000 Change in provision: New provision: 14,400 Old provision: 12,000 Increase = 14,400 − 12,000 = ₹2,400 This increase is an extra expense for the year. Total amount debited to P&L Total discount + provision charge: ₹5,000 + ₹2,400 = ₹7,400 So the correct figure to be accounted for in the Profit & Loss Account is ₹7,400.
