  • Write off the irrecoverable amount of 2,000asbaddebtexpense,reducingprofitby2,000 as bad debt expense, reducing profit by 2,000asbaddebtexpense,reducingprofitby2,000.
  • Calculate remaining trade receivables: 6,000−6,000 - 6,000−2,000 = $4,000.
  • Compute provision for doubtful debts: 1% × 4,000=4,000 = 4,000=40.
  • Revised profit: 24,000−24,000 - 24,000−2,000 - 40=40 = 40=21,960.
