    Dear Sir,
    I had a question about question 4.1 and 4.2 of BPP F3 revision kit.
    May 1, Sold $160 of goods to P Dixon on Credit
    May 1. WIthdrew $50 from the business
    May 2. Purchased goods from A Clarke on Credit for $380 less 15% trade discount
    May 2. Repaid a dept of $120 owing to R Hill, taking advantage of a 10% settlement discount. The payment was by cheque
    May 3. Sold $45 of goods for cash
    May 4. Sold $80 of gods to M Maguire on credit, offering a 12.5% discount If payment made within 7 days. Marshall expects Maguire to take up the discount
    May 4, Paid a phone bill of $210
    May 4. Received a cheques from H Larkin for $180
    May 5. Sold $304 of goods to M Donald on credit.
    May 6 Recieve a Cheque from D Randle for $482
    May 6 Purchased $100 of goods from G Perkins

    4.1. What is the total of the transactions recorded in the receivables ledger?
    The answer given in the book is 534$. But I don’t understand why they didn’t account for the transaction on May 6. I think that receipt a cheque of 482$ will result in a credit entry in the receivables ledger?

    4.2. What is the total of the transactions recorded in the payables ledger?
    The answer given in the book is823$. But I don’t understand why they didn’t account for the transaction on May 2. I think that a payment of 120$ will result in the debit entry in the payables account?

    I look forward to your explanation.
    Hope you have a great day!!

    What you have written is correct and I really cannot explain why the BPP answers should have left out those amounts. I can only assume that they made mistakes in either the typing of the question or in the answer.
