    Hi my Dear Tutor I have a question relating to above headline.I have passed this paper but want to revise it and i have some question.

    a page in the sales day book has been added up to 28415 instead of 28825

    As we know that sales day book list out only sales on credit transactions
    DID
    debit receivable-28415
    credit sales-28415

    should
    debit receivable-28825
    credit sales-28825

    correction
    debit receivable -415
    credit-sales-415

    it is undercasting error.

    another question

    a payment to a trader creditor has been entered into the purchase ledger control account and cash book as 1420 instead of 1240

    did
    debit purchase-1420
    credit payable-1420
    should
    debit purchase 1240
    credit payable -1240

    correction
    debit payable-1240
    credit purchase-120

    it is transposition error if it talks about trade creditor it should be purchase on credit inspite of saying cash book.

    it is correct?

    Correct for both (although if you have passed the paper I don’t understand why you are revising it, because it is not relevant for future papers 🙂 )
