Zeta issued a statement to one of its customers, Portofino Co for the month of July 20X4. At
31 July 20X4, the payable ledger account for Zeta maintained by Portofino Co had a balance
of $7,672. A review of Portofino Co’s payable ledger account for Zeta and the supplier statement
revealed the following differences:
1 Portofino Co had not yet recorded a purchase invoice from Zeta for goods which cost
$435.
2 Portofino Co made an automated payment of $1,506 on 30 July 20X4 which was not
recorded on the statement.
What was the closing balance on the statement issued by Zeta?
A $9,178
B $5,731
C $9,613
D $6,601
Please what is the correct answer? The answers say 8107, but that is not an option. Is that the right answer?

Reconciliation
The balance in Portofino's books as owing to Z is 7672 + 435 =8107
However, given that the statement issued by Zeta does not show the 1506 paid by Portofino, the statement will show a balance of 8107 + 1506 =9 613 (which is answer C)
