Have you been watching my lectures? They are a complete free course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well. You need to write up a control account for payables (a total payables account). You are given everything needed to be able to write up the t-account apart from the figure for purchases, so this will be the missing figure to make the account balance. I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on control accounts.

I already watch the lectures and they are great thank you for that but sometimes I don't really understand the question itself and with a bit of help all became clear
