V Co's balance on the payables control accounts at 30 September 2015 of $187,648 does not agree to the total on the list of payables ledger balances. The following errors have been found:
1. A credit note from a supplier for $250 has been omitted from the purchase day book.
2. An invoice for $300 has been posted twice to the supplier's account on the payables ledgers.
3. Cash paid to suppliers of $6,510 has been posted to the payables control accounts as $ 2,460
What is the total on the payables control account after all errors have been corrected?
Suggested solutions:
| $ | $ | ||
| Opening balance (amounts owed to suppliers) | 187,648 | ||
| Credit note omitted | 250 | ||
| Error in posting cash paid | 4,050 | ||
| Balance after adjustment | 183,348 |
