Exercise 3.12 Identifying and explaining errors
When processing the accounts for Ellise’s Electrical Contractors, the following errors were made:
(a) Electrical equipment purchased for $7800 cash was debited to Equipment and credited to
Accounts Payable for an incorrect amount of $8700.
(b) Collection of an account receivable for $4500 was recorded by a debit to Cash at Bank and a
debit to the equity account of the owner.
(c) A cheque for $6000 issued to pay for an account payable was recorded as a debit to Accounts
Payable and a credit to Accounts Receivable for $6000.
(d) A $2100 payment for assorted electrical tools was recorded as a debit to Equipment and a credit
to Cash at Bank for $210.
(e) Cash of $2000 withdrawn by the owner from the business was debited to Salaries Expense and
credited to Cash at Bank.
Required
A. Identify which of the above errors would cause unequal totals in a trial balance prepared at
the end of the period.
B. Write a brief explanation for each error to indicate how it could be fixed in the accounting
records.
A.
(a) The trial balance will still balance in spite of this error as there is an equal debit and credit for
$8700, even though the credit to the Accounts Payable account was incorrect. The correct
entry should have been to debit Office Equipment and credit Cash at Bank for the amount of
$8700.
(b) There should have been a credit to Accounts Receivable instead of a debit to the Capital
account. This will cause an unequal total in the trial balance because two debit entries were
recorded in error, and no credit.
(c) The trial balance will still balance in spite of this error as there is an equal debit and credit for
$6000, even though the wrong account was credited.
(d) The trial balance will still balance in spite of this error, as the debit and credit were both equal
to $210.
(e) The trial balance will still balance in spite of this error as there is an equal debit and credit for
$2000, even though the wrong account was debited.
B.
(a) To fix this error, the following journal entry is needed:

Electrical Equipment 900
Cash at Bank 7 800
Correcting errors made in certain asset and liability
accounts
This entry will bring the balance in the Office Equipment account to its correct amount of
$7800, as $900 is deducted from the amount already recorded. $8700 is reversed out of the
Accounts Payable account and the correct amount of $7800 is then credited to Cash at Bank.
(b) In order to fix this error, the error in the Capital account will need to be eliminated by
crossing out the amount of $4500 from the account; and the debit in the Accounts Receivable
account for $4500 will need to be crossed out and then the amount will need to be credited to
the account.
(c) To fix this error, the entity needs to record another journal entry to debit Accounts Receivable
and to credit Cash at Bank for $6000.
(d) To fix this error, there will need to be an additional journal entry to debit the Equipment
account and credit the Cash at Bank account for $1890.
(e) To fix this error, the entity needs to record another journal entry to debit the Drawings account
and to credit Salaries Expense for $2000.
