Gi) Ufyou recognise the error as ane of the six, remember that correction of such an error shoul
NOT pass through the suspensa account
Gil) Errors whick are corrected using the suspense account include:
= Incomplete dovisie entry. ie. an item entered on one side, e.g. debited but with no
corresponding credit entry
— Completion of double entry using different Ggures, Le. an amount on debit side is
different from the one om credit for the seme transaction.
= Incorrect additions or deductions, ie. overcasvundersost.
‘Where a balance is ominied from thelist extractad from the ledger (for this type of #
error its correction requires 3 one legged journal entry because the amount is alreaé!

Hints .
Remember the definition of working capital, that is, current assets less current
abllites.
‘This Question requires you to determine if each transaction affects a current asset or
Current liability or both and whether working capital would increase or decrease as a
result of the tansaction.
Steps
Z
9 For each transaction clacide the two accounts invalved. -
il) Next, find out # the balance in each of the two accounts would increase or
decrease as 3 result of the transaction,
Gi). If the account represents a current asset, an Increase In balance is likely to
increase working capital while a decrease in balance would reduce it. :
Gv) _ Similarly, if an account is 8 current liability, an increase in balance means less
working capital and vice versa.
() Effect of both accounts, however, has to be worked out, e.g. “withdrew cash
from bank or office use”. Cash balance increases while bank balance is
reguced by the same amount. As both cash and bank are current assets, the net -
effect is that there is no change in working capital,
