Sorry John , The problem in question 1 is which side the Credit notes received belongs to Payable Control account? I though it should be on debit side of payable control account? The problem in the question 2 is which side of cash account the Banked money goes to. I have put it to the Debit side but the couldn't get the calculation. Later on I thought that money is going out from cash account while banking so must be put it into credit side of Cash Account. Please advise...thanks
