Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
(i) Purchase of 1,620 is wrongly recorded through sales day book as 1,260. Correct Entry: Purchase A/c Dr. 1,620 To Anupam & Co. 1,620 Entry Made Wrongly: Anupam & Co. Dr. 1,260 To Sales 1,260 Rectification Entry: Before Trial Balance: Sales A/c Dr. 1,260 Purchase A/c Dr. 1,620 To Anupam & Co. 2,880 After Trial Balance: Sales A/c Dr. 1,260 Purchase A/c Dr. 1,620 To Anupam & Co. 2,880 After Final Accounts: Profit & Loss Adj. A/c Dr. 2,880 To Anupam & Co. 2,880 (ii) This is one sided error. Alka & Associates account is credited instead of debit. Amount posted to the wrong side and therefore while rectifying the account, double the amount (3200) will be taken. Before Trial Balance: No Entry Debit Alka & Associates A/c with - 8,400 After Trial Balance: Alka & Associates. A/c Dr. 8,400 To Suspense A/c 8,400 After Final Accounts: Alka & Associates A/c Dr. 8,400 To Suspense A/c 8,400
