Has anyone completed a skills test for this. My Profit and loss & Balance sheet doesnt balance but the inital Trial Balance and Adjustments do.

I need to check the totals really to see where im going wrong...

    Hi, I haven't long completed this, I had an adjustments total £25,592

    An error I made in this was the treatment of carriage so watch out for that.

    What are you getting as your gross profit?

    gross profit on the P and Loss actual sheet is £56630. If net profit is supposed to be 5888 it means i am 4292 down on the credit side?

    The carriage of 2211 needs to be added onto the purchases figure on the debit side and not on the credit side. You also need a 40 debit for provision for debt adjustment. Everything else looks correct.

    EDIT: Just noticed you have put a £170 provision - this should not be there.

    perfect, thanks for all your help there.

    Am a little confused as thought Carriage out would have been added to the sales as a credit as carriage in was already on the credit side.... something to remember for future reference i guess.

    Thanks again, much appreciated :thumbup1:

    You're welcome.

    Carriage in and out are both debits as the business would have to pay for both - ie if you buy something online you have to pay postage & packing charges, if you were to re-sell that item, you would have to pay postage again to forward the item. Hope that makes sense!
