Prior to the preparation of the trial balance Hinds received a draft to tour with the West Indies Cricket Team ( evidently his excitement resulted in a few accounting errors). Suspect of apparent errors, an audit was carried out, and the following errors located :

  1. A page of the purchases day book was undercast by $3,000
  2. A total in the sales day book was carried forward as $1,000 instead of $1,600
  3. The sale of some old fixtures for cash for $300 has been credited to sales
  4. Return inwards of $100 have been posted to the return outwards account

Required :

  1. Rewrite the trial balance, entering the difference if any to a suspense account
  2. Prepare journal entries to correct the errors located
  3. Write up the suspense account
