Suggested Solution
| Opening ar | 180,000 | |
| Cash received | 800,000 | |
| Expenses paid out of cash received | 3,000 | |
| Debts written off | 5,000 | |
| Refunds to credit customers | 6,000 | |
| Discounts allowed | 9,000 | |
| Credit sales | Sales | |
| Closing accounts receivables | 60,000 |
| Total Debit | Sale + 186,000 |
| Total Credit | 817,000 |
Credit Sales + 186,000 -817,000 =60,000
Credit sales =60,000 + 817,000 -186,000
Credit sales = 691,000
| Cash Sales | 20,000 |
| Credit Sales | 691,000 |
| Answer | 711,000 |
