A company’s trial balance failed to agree, and a suspense account was opened for the difference.
Subsequent checking revealed that discounts allowed $13,000 had been credited to discounts received
account and an entry on the credit side of the cash book for the purchase of some machinery $18,000
had not been posted to the plant and machinery account.
Which two of the following journal entries would correct the errors?
Debit Credit
$ $
(1) Discounts allowed 13,000
Discounts received 13,000

Discounts received 13,000
