Provision for bad debts should be in Debit in P&L but sum 5 answer showin credit side

Wages include 1000rs and paid for installation of machinery it’s journal entry??
Greetings from FINNERZ Coaching Center for Commerce !!
Kindly note that if the wages are paid for the installation for machinery, then it will be included in the cost of the machine. All expenses related to acquiring and installation of a fixed asset will be included in the cost of the fixed asset. Journal entry is : Debit Machinery A/c and Credit cash/bank A/c
Really it’s worthful for the learners to have a self-assessment on understanding these final accounts.
In problem 5 – I could not understand the nature of the transaction & its effects regarding the “Reserve for discount is no longer required and is to be written back.”
Can you explain in detail?
THIS SITE IS VERY HELPFUL!
Great site!
Why do you assume wages is part of goods sold and not expenses to be deducted from gross profit? because im sure they didn’t specify warehouse wages
