      A β‚Ή19,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B β‚Ή12,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C β‚Ή14,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D β‚Ή7,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Closing provision required 8% of β‚Ή1,80,000 = 0.08 Γ— 1,80,000 = β‚Ή14,400 (this is the new required provision) Effect on Profit & Loss What hits P&L for the year? Actual discount allowed (already given): β‚Ή5,000 Change in provision: New provision: 14,400 Old provision: 12,000 Increase = 14,400 βˆ’ 12,000 = β‚Ή2,400 This increase is an extra expense for the year. Total amount debited to P&L Total discount + provision charge: β‚Ή5,000 + β‚Ή2,400 = β‚Ή7,400 So the correct figure to be accounted for in the Profit & Loss Account is β‚Ή7,400.
