Solution
To complete the trade receivables account in the general ledger of Zack’s Hardware for the month ending 31 January 2023, we need to consider the opening balance, credit sales, cash receipts, sales returns, and the errors found by the auditors.
Here's how to calculate:
- Opening balance (1 January): R33,000
- Credit sales (January): R131,200
- Cash receipts (31 January): R64,600
- Sales returns (31 January): R6,200
Now, let's correct the errors:
- Goods returned by Mr. Zack: R550. This was incorrectly recorded in the sales returns journal, so we need to subtract this amount from the sales returns.
- Overcast in the cash receipts journal: R400. This means that the cash receipts were actually R400 less than recorded, so we need to subtract this amount from the cash receipts.
- Goods sold on credit recorded incorrectly: The goods were sold for R8,500 but recorded as R5,300. This means that the credit sales were actually R3,200 more than recorded, so we need to add this amount to the credit sales.
Now, let's update the account:
Dr Trade receivables control Cr 2023 R 2023 R Jan 1 Balance b/d 33,000 Jan 1 Balance b/d 33,000 31 Credit sales 134,400 (131,200 + 3,200) 31 Cash receipts 64,200 (64,600 - 400) 31 Sales returns 5,650 (6,200 - 550) Balance c/d 97,550 (33,000 + 134,400 - 64,200 - 5,650) Feb 1 Balance b/d 97,550 Feb 1 Balance b/d 97,550
Please note that the balance carried down (c/d) and brought down (b/d) should always match.
