Solution

The correct answer is:

b. In the bank column - R5 000; and in the Creditors column - R5 000

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. SA Attorneys received a loan of R230 000 from SA Bank. This makes SA Bank a creditor to SA Attorneys.

  2. The loan is repayable in monthly instalments of R5 000. So, every month, SA Attorneys needs to pay this amount to SA Bank.

  3. On 1 April 2022, SA Attorneys paid the first instalment with an EFT. This means money is going out of the company's bank account. Therefore, R5 000 will be recorded in the bank column.

  4. Since this payment is towards the loan taken from SA Bank, it will be recorded against the creditor, i.e., SA Bank. Therefore, R5 000 will be recorded in the Creditors column.

  5. The VAT and interest aspects do not affect this particular transaction on 1 April 2022, so they are not considered in the entry.
