Solution

To prepare the trade receivable account, we need to consider all the transactions related to sales, bad debts, and allowances. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Start with the opening balance. In this case, we don't have an opening balance, so we start from zero.

Step 2: Add the total sales (both cash and credit). Cash sales are 4300 and credit sales are 1500. So, the total sales are 4300 + 1500 = 5800.

Step 3: Subtract the cash received. The cash received for all sales is 4800. So, 5800 - 4800 = 1000.

Step 4: Subtract the bad debts written off. The bad debts written off are 408. So, 1000 - 408 = 592.

Step 5: Add the bad debts recovered. The bad debts recovered are 65. So, 592 + 65 = 657.

Step 6: Subtract the allowance for doubtful debts. The allowance for doubtful debts is 2% of the remaining balance. So, 2% of 657 = 13.14. So, 657 - 13.14 = 643.86.

Step 7: Subtract the provision for discount allowed. The provision for discount allowed is 1% of the remaining balance. So, 1% of 643.86 = 6.44. So, 643.86 - 6.44 = 637.42.

So, the ending balance of the trade receivable account is 637.42.
