        C.      Differences noted:

                (i)     Canon Suppliers correctly levied interest of R400 on the account of
                        Epson Traders on 4 March 2025.

                (ii)    Invoice 519 on 6 March 2025 was correct according to the statement
                        received from Canon Suppliers.

                (iii)   Canon Suppliers made an error in recording the return of goods on
                        8 March 2025.

                (iv)    Epson Traders qualified for an early settlement discount with the
                        payment on 14 March 2025. Canon Suppliers granted only R5 000 as
                        discount. They promised to show this on their statement next month.

                (v)     Invoice 202 for R13 800 was recorded incorrectly in the Creditors'
                        Ledger Account of Canon Suppliers on 15 March 2025. The invoice
                        was received from another creditor, Baron Suppliers.

                (vi)    A trade discount of 10% was deducted on invoice 594. Canon
                        Suppliers will correct this error next month.

                (vii)   Invoice 610 did not appear on the statement received from Canon
                        Suppliers as this transaction took place after their statement date.

                •       Due to good internal controls there were no missing or stolen material.

        B.      Factory overhead cost:

                The bookkeeper calculated the factory overheads as R966 360. However,
                he made the following errors which must be corrected:

                (i)        The entire telephone expense of R36 000 was used instead of 25%
                           being allocated to the factory.

                (ii)       The closing stock of factory indirect material was understated by
                           R2 800.

                (iii)      The bookkeeper correctly allocated the portion of the cleaner's wages
                           to factory overheads. However, he neglected to take into account the
                           increase of 6% p.a. effective from 1 January 2025 on the cleaner's
                           wages. The cleaner earns R48 000 p.a. and spends half his time in
                           the factory.

                (iv)       Water and electricity of R25 600 was allocated to the factory using
                           the ratio 4 : 3 : 2 for factory, sales and office respectively. This should
                           have been shared in the ratio 5 : 3 : 2.

NOTE:   1. Trading stock at the end of a financial year may be used if required in a question. 365 days is applicable
           only if relevant to the whole year.
        2. Credit purchases may be used instead of cost of sales (figures will be the same if stock is constant).
        3. If there is a change in the number of issued shares during a financial year, the weighted-average
           number of shares is used in practice.
