Solution

To complete the trade receivables account in the general ledger of Thomas Trading for the month ending 31 January 2024, we need to take into account all the transactions that have occurred during the month. Here's how you can do it:

Dr Trade receivables control Cr 2024 R 2024 R Jan 1 Balance b/d 55,000 Jan 31 Cash receipts 93,600 Jan 31 Credit sales 182,300 Jan 31 Sales returns 10,400 Jan 31 Correction of undercast 1,400 Jan 31 Write off (S Cook) 1,500 Jan 31 Correction of sales journal 900 Jan 31 Interest charged 170 Jan 31 Sales returns correction 1,020 Balance c/d 124,040 Balance c/d 124,040 Feb 1 Balance b/d 124,040 Feb 1 Balance b/d 124,040

Here's the breakdown of the calculations:

  • The opening balance is given as R55,000.
  • Credit sales of R182,300 are added to the debit side.
  • Cash receipts of R93,600 are subtracted on the credit side.
  • Sales returns of R10,400 are subtracted on the credit side.
  • The undercast of R1,400 is added to the debit side.
  • The incorrect recording of R1,020 is added to the debit side.
  • The incorrect sales journal entry of R900 (R7,600 - R6,700) is added to the debit side.
  • The write off of R1,500 is subtracted on the credit side.
  • Interest charged of R170 is subtracted on the credit side.
  • The closing balance (balance c/d) is calculated by subtracting the total credit side from the total debit side (R218,640 - R94,600 = R124,040). This balance is carried down to the next month (balance b/d).
