For college I have a profit and loss and balance sheet to produce... The doubtful debt provision is currently 4200. It has to be adjusted to 10% of the debtors - 38540. 10% x 38540 = 3854 So... it's to be decreased from 4200 to 3854 I'm thinking that 4200 has already been accounted for, so the remainder, 3...
