recorded it as such. Brixton Wholesalers granted only R1 870 as discount.

statement next month.
An EFT payment of R10 200 made to Brixton Wholesalers was not recorded
in the Creditors’ Ledger Account and did not appear on the statement as
well.
An invoice for R17 500 received from Brixton Wholesalers was recorded
correctly in the Creditors’ Ledger Account. The statement of account
reflected the invoice as R15 700.
Brixton Wholesalers recorded a credit note of R2 150 on the statement of
account in error. This was for goods returned by another customer, Moojo
Traders.
An EFT payment made to Brixton Wholesalers reflected correctly as
R4 900 on the statement of account. Mojo Traders incorrectly posted this as
an invoice and posted it as R9 400.
The statement of account showed an invoice for goods purchased,
R4 850. This transaction was not recorded in the books of Mojo/Traders.
