(i) A supplier’s statement had not accounted for cash in transit of $300.
this is accounted in the cash book but not accounted by the supplier so not a control account adjustment
(ii) The total of the purchase day book was overcast by $2,000.
this is a control account adjustment as the posting has been wrong to the control account initially
(iii) Darum took a settlement discount of $3,777 that was not allowed by the supplier on
their statement as the payment was latethis is a control account adjustment as the control account is recorded with a discount which wasn’t allowed by the supplier and needs to be added back as a liability again
