A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/21

Explanation
Adjust draft profit for bad debt write-off, provision maintenance, and asset sale gain Steps:
- Record gain on machine sale: sale price 3,500 = $500 increase to profit.
- Write off irrecoverable debt of 360 to profit; if against existing provision, no immediate impact but requires year-end adjustment.
- Maintain provision at 5% of current receivables: calculate required provision = 5% × (total receivables - $360 written off), then adjust from prior balance (profit impact = change in provision).
- Net profit = draft 500 gain + bad debt/provision adjustment.
Not enough information: Total receivables not provided, so cannot compute required 5% provision or exact profit impact.
Final answer: Not enough information.
Topic: Preparation of financial statements
