Solution
Given:
Gross Debtors = ₹ 1,52,000
Irrecoverable Debtors = ₹ 2,000
∴ Net Debtors = ₹ 1,52,000 − ₹ 2,000
= ₹ 1,50,000
Provision = `₹ 1,50,000 xx 2/100`
= ₹ 3,000
Additional provision needed = ₹ 3,000 − ₹ 1,000
= ₹ 2,000
Net effect on revaluation:
Net Increase in Assets = ₹ 10,000 − ₹ 2,000 − ₹ 2,000
= ₹ 6,000
Net decrease in liabilities = ₹ 1,000
Total net effect = ₹ 6,000 + ₹ 1,000
= ₹ 7,000
∴ Net gain of ₹ 7,000
