what is the entry of dishonour of cheque?? please explain the entry..
thx in advance
customer 's a/c..........dr
to bank a/c.
(being cheque recieved from customer / debtor dishonoured)
THE REASON FOR THIS ENTRY IS:-
when u recieve a cheque frm a debtor ( say ram) and it is not deposited on the same day in bank it is treated as cash. So, entry will be:-
Cash a/c ...............dr.
to ram
and when this cheque is deposited afterwards, it is obvious that our bank balance will increase and cash which was debited above will decrease. so, entry is:-
Bank .............dr
to cash a/c
but it is dishonoured so, both entries will be just opp, i.e, dr. becums cr. and cr. becomes dr.
after that cash will have no effect as will just cancel out and the left and final entry of ur query is:-
Ram...................dr
to bank a/c.

Provisions are expected losses in future ... so in order to protect the company from unexpected losses provisions are created
Debit - all Expenses & Losses
Credit - All Incomes & Gains
Nature of Accounts - Nominal Account....
Provisions always shows a credit balance .... and they are credited

depreciation is a non cash expenditure and provision for depreciation is a fund which will be set off , no matter if there are profits or losses to the entity for purchase of new asset. As you can understand if the asset is gets destroid today you cannot bear such huge expense suddenly so the entity maintains a fund named provision for depreciation
