FA – Nov 2015 – L1 – SA – Q17 – Control Accounts

This question identifies which item is NOT expected on the credit side of a receivable ledger control account.

  • PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM
  • FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
Question

Which of the following items is NOT expected to be found on the credit side of a receivable ledger control account?
A. Cash received from customers
B. Value of goods returned by customers
C. Decrease in allowance for receivables
D. Discount allowed
E. Customers’ debt written-off

Answer

C. Decrease in allowance for receivables

Explanation:
The credit side of a receivable ledger control account typically includes transactions that decrease accounts receivable. This includes cash received from customers, goods returned by customers (which reduces sales revenue), discounts allowed, and customers’ debts written off. However, a decrease in the allowance for receivables is an adjustment to the provision for doubtful debts, which is not recorded as a credit in the receivable ledger control account. Instead, it impacts the income statement and does not directly affect the receivables balance shown​
