FASuspense accounts.....plz show ur workings

Qqueeenshana14y ago
When Roberts’ trial balance was extracted, the total of the debit balances was$208,462 and the total of the credit balances was $208,642. He opened a suspenseaccount while he checked the entries. He then found that:

(i) a cash sale for $50 was debited to the cash account, but no entry was made inthe sales account;
(ii) the opening inventory figure of $1,200 was omitted from the trial balance

When Robert corrects these errors what is the balance on his suspense account?
A $1,070 debit
B $1,330 credit
C $1,280 debit
D $970 credit
