On 30 June, a provision for doubtful debts (5% of Trade Debtors ex GST)
will be made.
Calculating the base amount:
= $935 + $1,265 (do not include the credit)
= $2,200 less 10% GST
= $2,000.00 × 5%
= $100.00
Therefore, the following General Journal will be made:

Error 1:
On checking the original invoice, it has been discovered in June 2018 that the information on the cheque butt below is incorrect. The payment of $700 was actually for Advertising in the college magazine.
You are now required to make an appropriate journal entry to fix this mistake.
No: 614 6/7/17 To: Downs College For: School Fees for daughter
This cheque $700.00
This entry was allocated to the Drawings A/C and no GST.
This entry should have been allocated to Advertising with GST.
The cheque butt should have looked like this:
No: 614 6/7/17 To: Downs College For: Advertising (not drawings)

Checking the accuracy of your General Ledger
1. Does the Debit column equal the Credit column? If not, the
following errors could exist in your ledger.
• Incorrect calculation of the balance in the account
• Incorrect amount posted from the journal to the ledger
• Amount posted to the incorrect column in the ledger
• Incorrect balance written in the Trial Balance
• Balance written in the incorrect column in the Trial Balance
Tip: Calculate the difference between the debit and credit
column and look for an amount half or double this amount
– indicates amount on the wrong side.
2. Also view your accounts to make sure that the Ledger tells the
correct story about the business, e.g. you would not see Depreciation in the Bank Account.

2. What procedure is followed in relation to Bad and Doubtful
Debts?
If accounts are more than 60 days overdue, a hold is placed on
their account until payment is up to date. A phone call is made to
the customer to ascertain if there is a problem and payment of
the amount owing is negotiated.
After 90 days, a demand letter of payment within 7 days is
delivered in person. If payment is not made, the account will be
placed with a debt collection agency.
On 30 June of each year, a 5% of Trade Debtors ex GST doubtful
debt provision is created.
