    Question

    An amount received from Seema, whose account was

    previously written off as Bad Debts, should be debited to:
    A Bad Debts Recovered Account Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Seema's Account Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Cash Account Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Bad Debts Account Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When an amount is received from a debtor whose account was previously written off as Bad Debts, it is recorded as a recovery of bad debts. The entry would typically involve crediting the Bad Debts account to reverse the earlier write-off and debiting the Cash Account (or Bank Account) to reflect the cash received. So, the correct entry would be: Debit: Cash Account Credit: Bad Debts Recovered Account
