Unfortunately, some items have not been accounted for at all and others have been accounted for incorrectly. Details are as follows:

i      During June 2020 cash of $7 000 was received from a customer and the goods have been provided to the customer, however the transaction has not been recorded. The cost of these goods to the business was $3200.

ii    A bad debt of $1200 needs to be written off and the provision for doubtful debts needs to be adjusted to an amount that is 10% of the accounts receivable balance.

iii    The balance in the prepayments account relates to an annual rent in advance payment made on 31 March 2020. No adjusting entry has been made in relation to this item.

iv    On 30 June 2020 the business received $5 500 from a customer for goods that will not be supplied until July 2020. This transaction has not yet been recorded.

v     Interest is payable on the loan quarterly in arrears, calculated at 5% per annum. The next payment is due on 1 July 2020, and no adjustment has been made yet for this payment.

vi    Office supplies on hand at 30 June 2020 have been counted and estimated to be worth $1100.
