    At 1 April 20X9, the payables ledger control account showed a balance of $142,320.

    At the end of April the following totals are extracted from the subsidiary books for April:

    Purchases day book = 183,800
    Returns outwards day book = 27,490
    Returns inwards day book = 13,240
    Payments to payables, after deducting $1,430 cash discount = 196,360

    It is also discovered that:
    (a) The purchase day book figure is net of sales tax at 17.5%; the other figures all include sales tax.
    (b) A customer’s balance of $2,420 has been offset against his balance of $3,650 in the payables ledger.
    (c) A supplier’s account in the payables ledger, with a debit balance of $800, has been included on the list of payables as a credit balance.

    What is the corrected balance on the payables ledger control account?

    A $130,585
    B $144,835
    C $98,429
    D $128,985

    I thought I would account for information (c) by Debiting the payables ledger control account by $1,600 but that proved to be incorrect. I’m not sure what to do about (c) then. Thanks in advance

    I’m rereading the question and I think I’m not meant to account for (c) as it is affects a personal payable account not a control account. Is that correct?

    You are correct in that (c) is irrelevant because the mistake only affects the payables ledger and does not affect the control account 🙂
