Dear Student,

It is not possible for us to list down the impact of all the adjustments. However, I am writing down the accounting treatment for some of them. You can always post us with the specific adjustment that you find difficult to understand.

Let's suppose in Balance Sheet, you are given with 
Sundry Debtors: Rs 6,500
Less: Provision Rs 500
Net Debtors: Rs 6,000

Case (a) A provision for doubtful debts is to be created in respect of Sundry Debtors for Rs 375.
Case (b) A provision of 5% is to be created on Sundry Debtors
Case (c) Rs 9,000 is to be provided for doubtful debts.
Case (d) All debtors are considered good.
Case (e) ​A provision for doubtful debts is to be created in respect of Sundry Debtors for Rs 1,000.
Case (f) ​A provision of 2% is to be created on Sundry Debtors
Case (g) Write-off bad-debts amounting to Rs 6,000
Case (h) ​A provision of 10% is to be created on Sundry Debtors
