In: Accounting
A sale to XYZ for £21,400 has been posted to the customer's account as £24,100. The trial balance failed to balance but the difference has not been placed in a Suspense account. The journal entry to correct this error would require which of the following:
1. |
Debit Suspense account and credit Roy Roger's account with £2,700 |
|
2. |
Debit Sales account and credit Roy Roger's account with £2,700 |
|
3. |
Credit Roy Roger's account with £2,700 (with no corresponding second entry) |
|
4. |
Debit Roy Roger's account and credit Suspense account with £2,700 |
Option 3
Since difference is not placed in suspense account, it is not effected. Since customer account is debited more by 2,700, it is credited to his account.
