iii. Purchases from Shakila for Rs.750 has been omitted to be posted to the personal A/c.
iv. Sales to Khader for Rs.780 has been posted to his account as Rs.870.
Rectification:
i. Purchases from Bagavathi should have been posted to the credit of Bagavathi’s A/c., but it has been debited. Hence, Credit Bagavathi’s A/c with double the amount i.e, Rs.9,000.
ii. Sales to Vijay has to be debited in Vijay’s account but his account is credited with Rs.1,250. Hence, Debit Vijay’s A/c with Rs.1,250 + Rs.1,520 i.e, Rs.2,770.
iii. This is an error of omission. Posting must be to the credit of Shakila’s A/c. Hence, post Rs.750 to the credit of Shakila’s A/c.
iv. Here Khader’s A/c has been debited with a wrong amount i.e., with excess amount. To rectify this error, the excess amount must be credited to his account. Hence, credit Khader’s A/c with Rs.90.
