Sales and Purchases

The following entries appeared in the receivable ledger control account for June. Balance b/f 1st June is $7,500, sales $20,000, receipts from customers $8,000, irrecoverable debts written off $900. May I know how to solve this? This is how I did it, but I am unsure if I am right:: Dr Side: Bal b/f - $ 7500 Sales - $ 20,000 Cr Side: Receipts: $ 8000 Irrecoverable Debts: $ 900 Hence, Bal b/f ($7,500) + Sales ($20,00) = $ 27,500 - Receipts ($8,000) - Irrecoverable Debts ($900) = 18,600 Is this correct?

Yes, it is correct (although why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer - you should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers because they are full of questions with answers :-) )
