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 | 7,800 |
| B company | 9,000 |
| C company | 2,400 |
| D company | 2,300 |
| E company | 680 |
| F company | 1,680 |
| Total | 23,860 |
Subsequent to the drawing up of the list, the following errors have so far been found.
1. A sales invoice for $161 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 $500 balance of G company from the list.
3. A credit note for $665 sent to B company had been correctly entered in the day book but was entered in the account in the receivables ledger as $532.
What is the revised balance of the receivables ledger after correcting these errors?
SUGGESTED SOLUTION
| $ | |
| Balance | 23,860 |
| Plus C company invoice | 161 |
