1.2   CREDITORS’ RECONCILIATION

      The following information was drawn from the books of Bapedi Traders. The
      Creditors’ control account and the Creditors’ List of Bapedi Traders were
      prepared by an inexperienced bookkeeper.

      REQUIRED:

      1.2.1 Why should the balance of the Creditors’ Control account correspond with
            the total of the Creditors’ List?                                             (2)

      1.2.2 Calculate the correct balances of the Creditors’ Control account and the
            Creditors’ List.                                                              (8)

      INFORMATION:

      An inspection of the information at the end of July 2015 revealed the following:

      (a)    Creditors’ Control balance, R49 560
             Creditors’ List total, R36 410

      (b)    Due to an adding mistake, the Creditors’ List was overcast by R520.

      (c)    An invoice for consumable stores purchased for R3 160 from Madiba
             Traders has not been entered in the journals.

      (d)    Trading stock returned to Sam Ltd for R690 was correctly entered in the
             Creditors’ Allowances Journal. The amount was incorrectly posted to the
             account of Sam Ltd as R960.

      (e)    The total of the Creditors’ control column in the Cash Payments Journal
             (CPJ) is R6 700. The bookkeeper had mistakenly posted it to the credit
             side of the Creditors’ control account.
                                                                                          35
