When Q's trial balance failed to agree, a suspense account was opened for the difference. The trial balance totals were:
| Debit $ | 300,000 |
| Credit $ | 297,000 |
The company does not have control accounts for its receivables and payables ledgers.
The following errors were found:
1. In recording an issue of shares at par, cash received of $110,700 was credited to the ordinary share capital account as $105,165.
2. Cash $246 paid for plant repairs was correctly accounted for in the cash book but was credited to the plant asset account.
3. The petty cash book balance $150 had been omitted from the trial balance.
4. A cheque for $3,690 paid for the purchase of a motor car was debited to the motor vehicles account as $4,096.
5. A contra between the receivables ledger and the payables ledger for $300 which should have been credited in the receivables ledger nad debited in the payables ledger was actually debited in the receivables ledger and credited in the payables ledger.
