Sep 5: Office Fixtures originally bought by credit for £150 was returned to the supplier Syme Ltd., as it was unsuitable. Full allowance will be given for this.
Sep 10: The business is owed £311 by M. Abel. He is declared bankrupt and we only received £180 cash in full settlement of the debt.
Sep 18: Bought a Machinery from Brown Ltd. to use in the company. The total purchasing value of the machine is £1,800. The owner paid £100 cash, £500 by issuing a cheque and rest of the purchasing value would remain as credit.
Sep 26 The owner paid half of the machinery debt to Brown Ltd. by issuing a cheque.
Sep 28: The owner paid £130 an insurance bill via cheque thinking that it was in respect of the business. We now discover that £70 of the amount paid was in fact insurance of our private house.
