Accounting
Pui Fun set up business on 1 January 2017 as a piano school operator. At the end of the 1st year of business, 31 December 2017, the amount owing to her from customers totalled RM 13,140. After some consideration Pui Fun decided that, of these debts, a total of RM 740 was unlikely ever to be received and should be written off as bad. She decided to be prudent and make 4% general allowance against the remaining trade receivables. By 31 December 2018, Pui Funs trade receivables had increased to RM 16,800 and of these RM 3,000 were bad. Pui Fun decided that her general allowance for doubtful debts could be reduced to 2% of the remaining trade receivables. At 31 December 2019, Pui Funs debtors totalled RM 12,500. There were no debts that were considered bad but a specific allowance to be made against one debt of RM 700 and a general allowance of 2% to be continued on the remaining trade receivables.
