    The cost of an item of plant $48,000 had been entered in the cash book and in the plant
    account as $4,800. Depreciation at the rate of 10% per year ($480) had been charged

    wouldn’t the following error require an suspense account?

    since the above error the best i could interpret it that 48000 has been recorded in cash book and 4800 in machinery account

    machinery ac debit 48000
    to cash ac credit 4800 (this is how i think the error was incorrectly recorded)

    so wouldnt this require an suspense account since debit and credit are not equal??

    thanks in advance

    Yes, it would need an entry in a suspense account.

    Was the question asking about the suspense account? I am guessing that it was asking for the adjustment to profit rather than a suspense account.
