A.

B.

N4,300

C.

N6,200

D.

Correct answer is A

cash balance = debit side of the cash column - credit side of cash column. Hence we have;

Discount allowed = 0.02 x 2000 = 40

Debit column = 3000 + 1000 + 2000 + 200 = 6200 
6200 - 40 (cash discount) = 6160

credit column = 200 + 3000 + 200 = 3400

6160 - 3400 = 2760

Correct answer is D

Credit sales = 160%  x 280,000 (cash receivable)

160/100 x 280,000

1.6 x 280,000 = 448,000

credit sales = 448,000

Bal c/d = debit side - credit side of the account. Hence we have;

Debit side = 87,000 + 488,000 + 58,000 + 50,000 = 643,000

credit side = 40,000 + 50,000 + 280,000 + 30,000 = 400,000

643,000 - 400,000 = 243,000

Bal c/d = 243,000
