AAT practise paper

robynw92

Can anyone explain question 1c and 1d on the first practice paper please? I'm sure its something simple but I cant figure it out, even with the answer.

I originally got:

1c) cash carried down 450 debit
bank carried down 3382 credit

1d) cash total 1375
bank total 7907

Hi @robynw92

Could you post the question as well. Those of us who've finished studying can't access the practice papers easily so can't really help otherwise.

Hi @Pian32

Apologies, I didn't realize. The questions are in the image, the answers given in the model answers paper were:
1c) cash carried down 260 credit
bank carried down 4012 debit

1d) cash total 1110
bank total 8537

Thank you

1c
Cash= 1,110 Debit : 850 Credit
To Balance = 1110-850 = 260 Credit

Bank = 2150+1525+850 (4525) Debit : 6542+1365+396+234 (8537) Credit

To Balance = 8537-4525 =4012 Debit (this was the smaller side to start)

1 d
Totals are balanced so will be equal to the largest side from earlier calculation (without the balancing figure)
Cash = 1110
Bank = 8537
