    Hi Mr John

    The trial balance of Z failed to agree, the totals being: debit $836,200
    credit $819,700
    A suspense account was opened for the amount of the difference and the following errors were found
    and corrected:
    1 The totals of the cash discount columns in the cash book had not been posted to the discount
    accounts. The figures were discount allowed $3,900 and discount received $5,100.
    2 A cheque for $19,000 received from a customer was correctly entered in the cash book but was
    posted to the control account as $9,100.
    What will be the remaining balance on the suspense be after the correction of these errors?

    Correct answer is $1,500 credit.

    sir so the answer is:

    1. Dr suspense 900
    Cr sales 900
    2. Dr suspense 9900
    Cr receivable 9900
    difference between debit and credit = 836200 – 824700 = 11500 DR

    So shouldnt it be 11500 DR + DR Suspense 900 + DR suspense 9900 = 22300 DR??
    why is the answer 1500 CR?

    Why have you asked this a second time?

    I replied earlier today to your first question about this!
