  3. C
    N35,000
  4. D

Cevap

The cash drawings made by the proprietor during the year amount to N25,000.
To find missing cash drawings in an incomplete record system, prepare a summary of cash transactions. The debit side includes opening balance (N15,000), cash received from debtors (N180,000), and cash sales (N95,000), yielding total cash receipts of N290,000. The credit side accounts for cash paid to creditors (N120,000), sundry expenses (N35,000), cash banked (N100,000), and closing cash balance (N10,000), totaling N265,000. The difference of N25,000 (N290,000 - N265,000) represents the missing cash drawings.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate total cash available (Debit side of cash summary)
Total Receipts = Opening Cash Balance + Cash from Debtors + Cash Sales = N15,000 + N180,000 + N95,000 = N290,000
All cash inflows plus the opening cash balance represent the total cash accountable.
2
Calculate total known cash disbursements and ending balance (Credit side of cash summary)
Known Disbursements & Ending Balance = Cash to Creditors + Sundry Expenses + Cash Banked + Closing Cash Balance = N120,000 + N35,000 + N100,000 + N10,000 = N265,000
All recorded cash outflows and cash remaining on hand must be accounted for on the credit side.
3
Determine missing unrecorded cash drawings
Cash Drawings = Total Receipts (N290,000) - Known Disbursements & Ending Balance (N265,000) = N25,000
The balancing figure on the credit side represents unrecorded proprietor cash drawings.
