    Hi John,
    The following question is about suspense accounts.
    A company’s trial balance totals were:

    Debit $ 387,642
    Credit $ 379,511

    A suspense account was opened for the difference.

    Which one of the following errors would have the effect of reducing the difference when corrected?

    A. The petty cash balance of $ 500 has been omitted from the trial balance.
    B. $ 4,000 received for rent of part of the office has been correctly recorded in the cash book and debited to rent account.
    C. $ 3,000 paid for repairs to plant has been debited to the plane asset accounts.
    D. An invoice for Mr. A Smith for $ 400 has been posted to the account of Mrs B Smith in error.

    How is the answer D? I don’t understand the workings. If you could please help.

    The answer is B (and the BPP Revision Kit shows the answer as B also).

    D has no effect on the trial balance.

    The reset received should be credited to rent received. It has been debited to the rent account which makes the debits too high.
