    Your question; the lower half doesn't quite ring true, unless I'm seeing things. Nisha sends a cheque for more than what is due - the questions states she sends a part payment?? Maybe it's me.

    I do have some workings for you. I'll add, they have not been run through QB, merely Excel.

    Supply a variety reports showing everything that has gone through each income, cost, asset, liability account code etc, including the ones asked for in the question!!!!

    If I post my entries, and these reports will you check it?

    That's what I asked for on the other post weeks ago! Although I can see Bertie has posted his and beaten you to it

    Yes quite.

    Although the qustion says; Nisha sends a 'part' payment, Nisha's orders are circa £175k, yet sends cheque for £177k.

    So unless there is supposed to be a POA / Deferred income, my fag packet workings are wrong.

    Hi Bertie,

    I have to thank you for attempting this problem, Ill help you wax your Maserati as a token of appreciation!

    Please revise the attached Trial Balance, General Ledger entries, and Income Statement

    ● I do have to admit that this a very bad question ( I do have better ones ), but I was desperate to try out questions, so I attempted it (sucks not having solutions!)

    It seems like most of our figures on the Trial Balance are correct, however I am looking at why you decided to have a deferred income of 1350? Are you sure the excess payment can be viewed as revenue? I would think its merely a credit to NIsha’s account. Thats why I have an AR on my Trial Balance of 9150.


    I attached the Trial Balance→ which QB automatically calculates for you based on your G/L entries→ If you add the Inventory account 63080 + 1350 (Overpayment Nisha) we get the same amount you have 553 080.



    Dunno who is right or wrong here.

    If the question is as you posted then my logic is correct.

    The extra payment she has made of - £1350 (Which I think is strange as it states she sent a part payment)

    Will be;

    Dr Bank
    Cr Deferred Income.

    Some software will Cr the SLCA, thus reducing current assets in the balance sheet.

    In future when she orders again, the £1350 will be offset against what she already has on account.

    Until she orders anything, the money (£1350) should be held as a liability because the company effectively owes her.

    As you can see the results are the same.

    P&L is also the same.

    What the hell for? Told you right from the start I wasn't gonna waste my time. Too busy with real clients. Plus I already help a pile of students out on a daily basis for nada. You have your answer from Bertie, so don't push it!

    Agree on the deferred income under ias. It's where such software dumbs it down for lay people and often causes issues on refundable deposit processing.

    You clearly do NOT appreciate it a lot, you only said it after I reminded you to do so! Next time - say it straight awaty when someone has helped you.

    Bertie - I am appalled at the lack of manners on this and several other forums. Folk get one chance - then if they dont say thank you I dont bother to help them again.
