    Bring forward the balances given on 1 May.
    Debit with the sales
    Credit with the cash received
    Credit with the discounts
    Debit with the refunds.

    Then calculate the closing balance.

    Only one of the 4 choices will give the same net figure for the closing balance.

    (Does the book in which you found this question not also have an answer with workings? 🙂 )
