Hi John,
The following question is about suspense accounts.
A company’s trial balance totals were:Debit $ 387,642
Credit $ 379,511A 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.
August 28, 2015 at 4:10 pm #268950The 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.
