What was the total amount of cash received from credit debtors during the year?
Cevap: 141600 ₦
Cevap
The total amount of cash received from credit debtors during the year was ₦141,600.
The correct cash received from debtors (₦141,600) is obtained by solving for the missing credit entry in the Sales Ledger Control Account. Total debit items (opening debit balance of ₦52,000 + credit sales of ₦170,000 + dishonoured cheque of ₦4,200 + cash refund of ₦1,800 + closing credit balance of ₦800) equal ₦228,800. Subtracting all known credit side items (opening credit balance of ₦1,500 + returns inwards of ₦6,500 + discount allowed of ₦3,800 + bad debts of ₦2,400 + contra set-off of ₦5,000 + closing debit balance of ₦68,000 = ₦87,200) gives ₦141,600.
