Bookkeeping General Journal

by Teng
(Melbourne)




In the opening balance of general journal, the balance bank account of say $30,000, should that be in debit or credit in my accounting and why?

Hello Teng,

Thanks for your inquiry.

The bank balance of $30,000 should show in the debit column as asset accounts are debit accounts.

I need to make the journal entries to correct these errors:

Trial balance failed to agree and the difference of £680 is recorded in the credit side of a Suspence acc. On investigation the following errors are discovered:

1. A purchase inv for £157 had been postedto J W Day & Sons in error. The goods have be bought from Days Supplies.

2. The Sales Day Book has been overcast by £220.

3. A cheque payment for repairs to the office building of £41 had been entered in the accounts as £14.

4. A payment by cheque of £50 to A Biggs has been debited in the cash book and credited to A Biggs Acc.

5. The purchase of a motor vehicle costing £5600 has been entered correctly into the bank account but debited to the motor vehicles account as £6500.

6. A credit sale of £180 had not been entered into the accounts.

I need details of a suspense acc showing the original opening balance and the entries that must be made to clear the account.

Many thanks.
