    • Prepare the correcting entries for the below transactions:

      c) Drawings of $5,000 by the owner, Mr. Seow was posted as a debit of $5,000 to Capital and a credit of $5,000 to Cash.

      My Ans:

      Error:
      Dr Capital $5, 000
      Cr Cash $5, 000

      Dr Cash $5,000
      Cr Capital $5,000

      ???
      Dr Drawings $5000
      Cr Capital $5, 000

       

      d) On 30 Dec 2004, Mr. Seow received $7,000 from a customer for services rendered from June to Dec 2004, each month amounting to $1,000.

       Mr Seow posted the full amount as a debit to Cash and a credit Fees Earned accounts on 31 Dec 2004.

    • Part (c)

      Dr Drawings $5,000
      Cr Capital $5,000.

      Explanation: Let's take a look at the Drawing part first. When you draw an amount, the entry which you will record is debit Drawings a/c   and  credit Cash a/c. But instead of debiting to Drawings a/c, Mr.seow mistakenly debited into Capital a/c. So you'll need to Credit the Capital a/c, and debit the Drawings a/c to make it right.



      Part (d) Looked correct leh the question..  Unless you want the next step (Transfer to P&L)

      Dr Fees Earned $7,000Cr P&L $7,000

    • what is the y/e?

       

      d) Services rendered to customer from June to Dec 2004, shouldn't there be a debtors account?

      If sales was recorded before with an existing Debtors a/c, then crediting Fees Earned would have resulted in recording the Sales twice.

       

      Mr Seow should have posted:

      Cr Debtors $7,000

      Dr Cash $7,000

       

      Journal Entry to Correct:

      Cr Debtors $7,000

      Dr Fees Earned $7,000
