Question:
On closer inspection of the statement, you discover the following: 1. On 31 October 20.19, an electronic funds transfer (EFT) for R23 940 was made in payment for all transactions up to 31 October with their receipt being dated 1 November. Flower Wholesalers neglected to recognize the 5% cash discount offered to Dahlia Distributors on all payments made on time by the end of a month.
The inventories purchased on 11 November (Invoice no. 113) are subject to a 10% trade discount. The gross amount of this invoice is shown on the supplier’s statement. 3. Invoice no. 98 had been overcast by R600. 4. Credit note no. 266 for R2 160 was in respect of inventories bought and paid for during September 20.19 and subsequently found unsuitable and returned in November 20.19. 5. Goods bought and received from Flower Wholesalers from 25 to 30 November and after allowing a trade discount of 10%, were as follows: 26 November 20.19 – Invoice no. 121 R- 2 050 28 November 20.19 – Invoice no. 123 - 440 30 November 20.19 – Invoice no. 124 - 2 700
Dahlia Distributors incorrectly entered Invoice no. 116 in their accounting records as R3 700. 7. A debit note for R3 640 had been correctly entered in the accounting records of Dahlia Distributors but is shown as Invoice no. 99 on the supplier’s statement. 8. Invoice no. 111 was entered twice on the supplier’s statement. 9. Flower Wholesalers owe Dahlia Distributors R5 000 in respect of goods purchased from Dahlia Distributors during November 20.19. The amount, less 2,5% cash discount, must be deducted from the amount owing to them which will be paid on 30 November 20.19.
