Hi, I made up the example below & found it tricky to solve. How to deal with this? Thank you very much.
Year end: 31/12/20×1 Order of $1000 placed at 31/10/20×1, with deposit of 20% paid Goods received at 31/12/20×1 Invoice received at 02/01/20×2 Invoice paid at 31/02/20×2
At 31/10/20×1, order placed & deposit paid: Dr purchase ledger $200 (prepayment) Cr cash $200
At 31/12/20×1, goods received: Dr purchase $1000 Cr purchase reserve $800 (Is $800 right? as we have paid $200. Then the year end cuts in, but the entries don’t balance, how to deal with it?
year end At 02/01/20×2, invoice received Dr purchase reserve $800 Cr purchase ledger $1000
At 31/02/20×2, payment fully made. Dr purchase ledger $800 Cr cash $800
