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
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
CORRECTION OF ERROR AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT
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.
