correction of errors
3y ago#1Why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers.
Sales returns should have been debited to sales returns.
So to correct it:
Dr Purchase returns (to cancel the wrong entry)
Dr Sales returns (to make the correct entry)
Purchase returns should have been credited to purchase returns
So to correct it:
Cr Sales returns (to cancel the wrong entry)
Cr Purchase returns (to make the correct entry).
I would guess that the choices available in the question just do the net entry to each of the sales returns and purchase returns accounts, and of course the 'missing figure' to complete the double entry goes to the suspense account.
thank you so much
