Revaluation account will be credited by ₹2,000

Correct Answer:

Revaluation account will be debited by ₹2,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- Revaluation account will be debited by ₹2,000.

Debtors = 50,000
Provision to be made 10% i.e. = 50,000 x 10/100
                                            = 5,000

Old provision = 3,000
Extra provision to be made  = 5,000 - 3,000
                                         = 2,000

This 2,000 is loss for the firm so it is debited to revaluation account. Journal entry made for this-
