Your inexperienced colleague, Paul has attempted to extract and total the individual balances in the receivables ledger. He provides you with the following listing which he has prepared.
| A company | 31,200 |
| B company | 5,000 |
| C company | 3,600 |
| D company | 2,300 |
| E company | 1,360 |
| F company | 1,120 |
| Total | 44,580 |
Subsequent to the drawing up of the list, the following errors have so far been found.
1. A sales invoice for $138 sent to C company had been correctly entered in the day book but had not been posted to the account for C company in the receivables ledger.
2. One of the errors made by Paul was to omit the $600 balance of G company from the list.
3. A credit note for $855 sent to B company had been correctly entered in the day book but was entered in the account in the receivables ledger as $684.
What is the revised balance of the receivables ledger after correcting these errors?

| $ | |
| Balance | 44,580 |
| Plus C company invoice | 138 |
