Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a specific accounting error where goods returned to T Corporation were incorrectly recorded. The error involved a wrong amount in the Return Inward book and subsequent incorrect posting to T Corporation's account. The rectification process involves correcting the Sales Return account, crediting T Corporation (as a payable) and crediting the Purchase Returns account to accurately reflect the transaction.
No wonder no one passes exams properly because of the language, look here, sales return was debited or credited was not given. These question papers will never change
Sir, in that case error s happened after Balance Sheet . there are two errors ,one - return outward is wrongly recorded as return inward and two- amount is also recorded wrongly . first ,we need to remove extra debit to T corporation i.e,₹9000 by crediting it.Also we need to remove wrong credit of ₹ 21500 in sales return by debiting it and credit ₹12500 to purchase returns a/c.
Sure, what ever way one can adjust, one can do it. The key to rectification of errors is having clarity on wrong transaction, This is a very important chapter in accounting.
